“He knew two retirees who made $35-$40K in cash per year for driving them back & forth to work sites (15+ years ago).”

I knew a Mennonite who did that. He had an extended cab truck and a trailer for their carriage and horses.

Police everywhere will raid a beer bust out in a field if it gets too big and they pick up wind of it. This is only of interest because it’s Amish youths. But hey, the temptation those kids are under must be tremendous.

Because they are worried they would be drinking and riding their carriages back home?

Standalone powered machines used for work purposes are somewhat acceptable compared to being on the grid. Don’t ask me why, but thats why they will have generators to power dairy equipment so the milk can be sold to commercial buyers.

I frequently interact with Amish builders. They have the best power tools. Most are very skilled and are for the most part quite friendly.

The boss owns the truck and hires an “English” guy to drive.

I was with one today that had an actual cell phone, but it was just a plain old flip phone

Of course. Because they get to confiscate the beer.

Paraphrasing, the urban black kid condescends to the Amish guy with, “How do you get along without the internet?”

The Amish guy says, “It’s no problem. I just have them MAIL me pictures of your momma.”

Where I grew up the best HS parties were always in an amish field. Yes, there was underage drinking, but it didn’t tend to get out of hand and the few that went to far were given another chance and then booted and never invited back. I didn’t drink, but had a lot of fun with my amish and non-amish friends. Course nothing the size of what this appears to have been.

Also to take them grocery shopping. When I worked briefly at a local grocery deli, a customer one day told me he was a Yoder Toter, and I almost fell on the floor.
