I’m simply looking at overall health. Overall, Amish communities do better in basically every metric. Due to that, I would be hesitant to condemn their lifestyle as unhealthy, considering they get better outcomes than my demographic and others do. That’s what I thought. Hookworms are less common to...

Deferred compensation is not your property and is not an IRA. It is money that still belongs to your employer, who may choose to have a third party administrator like NRS do bookkeeping for them. Legally, it remains the property of the government employer. This is significantly different than a 401k...

Amish children have better health than their non-Amish neighbours. There is simply not a health risk to being barefoot, at least in Amish communities. So… your evidence is anecdotal based on individual contacts from the few southern Amish communities? Or are you speaking of your larger quantities o...

Yet the evidence says that groups who regularly have their children barefoot around horse and bovine manure have better health outcomes. Where is this evidence and is it based on South America or the south region of USA? The evidence I’ve seen is poor in those regions with multiple health problems ...

Ken, with respect, you don’t know what you’re talking about with regard to Nationwide Retirement Solutions’ special plans for government employees. They are effectively a hybrid of an IRA and a traditional pension. They are not an actual IRA and are not fully funded. Citation: used to work at Nation...

If you watch the videos, you will see massive supp...

For once Ken and I agree on something. Another aspect that might keep Amish children more healthy is the fact they usually live in less sterile environments, than their non-Amish peers. The fact that they are around horses, other animals, run barefoot, maybe don't bathe as often, etc. builds up the...

Holmes Co. has a higher percentage of Amish than Mifflin, so according to Ken’s numbers, the Amish apparently did better with Covid than non Amish people.

And I say this as someone who, generally speaking, avoids vaccines for religious reasons.

It was passed on to me, I honestly believe it over Fauci.

I trust neither that website nor Fauci.

A very good question is what, exactly, Israeli settlers are doing in Gaza who aren't part of the IDF. They have absolutely no business being there. They are aid convoys passing through the West Bank from the North and being attacked by settlers in the West Bank. From the article: Drivers and contra...
