The Amish are right: cash is king

THIS IS HOW WE HEAL THE PLANET!

We spend CASH at other American's farm stands! We support LOCAL farmers who have small scale operations. We sell one thing we grow or make BY HAND at our properties in farm stands. We take the cash we earn and spend it at other farm stands.

The cycle repeats and the banks and credit card companies don't get a cut!

It will heal US and the environment along the way.

Sweetie, you are so correct. We call it From Farm to Table. In economics, it’s called circulation ratio. Every dollar you spend goes to the next person who in turn goes to the next person. This multiplier effect charges up the local economy. If you buy furniture from a box store, it’s plastic sawdust glued together. You buy it from a local cabinet maker of solid wood that lasts generations.

I don’t need a new Tesla. Extra cash goes to buy old tools, old machines and DIRT!!!!

This concept is fundamental to the “modern Amish” movement.

Right now, an Amish foundary in PA pours the cast iron replacement parts for our machines. One of my table saws is a sliding table precision saw made in 1909 run by flat belts on a steam engine.

I don’t need to charge excessively as I don’t have thousands in bank interest payments for modern machines I can’t run without grid power. I have solar and old gas generators and steam.

My main function is maple syrup. My evaporator is wood fired. Often lights are with gasoline lanterns. Only the computer and a couple other items need inverter power.

There are many small farms from which you can get anything including meat. But meat is a bit tricky cuz of the nonsense of the USDA. But you can get around that especially if you use cash.

Yes yes yes! Community-based systems are our true security. Thank you <3

Years ago, I had a system where I paid cash and the feeling of being connected to the money and the transaction that you're paying for helped me be much wiser about spending and more appreciative of the value of the money. This video is a great reminder.❤

I couldn’t agree more with you on all of this! My wife rarely uses cash but I am the complete opposite. She now carries a $100 dollar “emergency fund “ because she recently couldn’t get gas due to the internet being down. She is slowly coming around.
I enjoy your work, please keep it up!

Exactly correct, cash is king, and it leaves no paper trail that's why our Govt and other Govt want to go to a digital currency so they can track everything we do and get their cut in taxes

@1:39, very true...everything has vibrational energy...so buy quality good energy products built by good people directly from them.

How in the hell, at you're young age did you get so smart. Refreshing indeed.

[JasonBavington]

WOOHOOO!!!! 🎉

I'm a big fan of cash, instead of plastic. You're right that money is energy and the more we can directly interact with, share, and exchange that energy in positive ways the more we level up the vibration.

It always amazes me how small businesses will almost always just hand you the machine so you can tap. I always ask, "why are you ok giving away 2-3% of your profit?" They often are on autopilot, don't think about it, are too much in a hurry, etc. So much money is being freely handed over to the giants. Every cash transaction helps right this ship.

Exactly 🎯 💯 Alexandra !!

Everything is energy ✨
Everything is vibration/frequency

Love the spirit of your sentiment, keep the money between the neighbors and tell the banksters to pound sand, wish you were my neighbor!

[GiffysChannel]

Yes it is!!! I'm 33 and everyone I know rolls their eyes even i say this. Thank you.

I believe this is closely related to the fact that we want the government to give welfare, food stamps, etc. I think there is a very warm feeling you get when you help out those in need that you no longer get when the government does it for you. Now when I see someone who is homeless my first thought is "go get food stamps, go get welfare." I have to reign in that thinking and realize how can I help these people myself. We should be very careful and thoughtful about the power we grant our government.

Gold and silver are a nice to have as well.

WNYer here, learn a lot from your channel. I'm a handyman/arborist/carpenter- sometimes get "thrown into" working with Amish crews. Can't agree with you more. Appreciate their hardwork, honesty and local money circulation. I enjoy your channel, Thanks.
