This is really worth watching. Especially around the 16 minute mark for a few minutes.

It’s one of the basis of my family’s current move. One of the largest frack pads in the country is currently under construction directly behind my house (think feet, not miles). We have no city water out here. We are downhill from this site. We have no lease and no protection.

After watching this documentary, my wife turned and looked at me and said “wow… you’ve become ray.” That’s when I knew it was time to move. I don’t want to be the next Ray. I want to enjoy my life with my new child, peacefully. So goodbye PA ✌️

We have seen early examples brewing, for example the Ethiopian dam.

We are very fortunate to live near the Great Lakes, the largest natural freshwater system. Wild that PA continues to pollute its own water at a breakneck pace.

As a side note - my property is serviced by a spring. Probably one of the last in the country where the only water supply is a spring and cistern system, fully gravity fed. We had a drought and water ran out for a week.

Holy shit was it awful. Toilet can’t flush. No showers. No cooking no washing hands no filling a glass, no wetting a paper towel to clean something… literally everything involves water. It was one of the most miserable weeks of my life

there are outlets; and they work with english suppliers to distribute goods. I have lived in both NY and PA close to their communities and there is a wide degree of Amish-ness if you will. Different sects (this post referenced the Swartzentrubers specifically) have different degrees of strictness. The Amish I just worked with to log my property were of a belief that they could use their mobile phones for work purposes, and frequently did. But would leave outside the home, etc etc
