Drone footage - Amish needed to move a barn so 150 of them just picked it up and moved it

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Heh. That' IS the real world. It's what the Amish do when they need to move a building. All the proper permits were obtained for the slab they put the barn on. No other permit was needed.

Amish don't bother with permits. They just do things and to hell with the gubmint.

Amish are probably the most admired ethnic group in america. They work hard and mind their own business and never ask for amish privilege. Contrast with blacks where it's always gimme gimme gimme. No wonder everybody is sick of blacks.

They are required to obtain permits just as anyone else in the State. Inspections are still conducted for the stuff they build.

That depends on who you ask.

They work hard and mind their own business and never ask for amish privilege.

They are hard workers, very community oriented, and even help out others outside their community. They do, however, have very strict religious rules that bother some people.

Contrast with blacks where it's always gimme gimme gimme. No wonder everybody is sick of blacks.

Go stuff your racism up your butt.

I have met very hardworking black people, and the riots and looters and arsonists you see (the gimme crowd) is primarily WHITE.

I don't give a damn about the color of their skin. If they're good people they're good people. If they're criminals, they are criminals.

This could never happen in the real world. The govt would insist on a permit and osha would be there to make sure it was safe. It would cost $100,000 and take 6 months.

There were only 878 federal OSHA inspectors in 2023, and there are quite a bit fewer right now. Anyone who has ever managed a major project will tell you that you will probably never see a OSHA inspector. They certainly are not required. As for permits, those are not a federal issue, but a local issue. On a farm, for a barn, they can generally be gotten in under a week.

OSHA would never even inspect a non-business building site. This is considered a DIY project by the government, so completely not under OSHA requirements.

The Amish are very careful about obeying the law in any way open to the public. What they do behind closed doors is behind closed doors, but they do not want to be seen violating the law in public. They ALWAYS apply for permits, when required.

Amish do drive cars or tractors those were probably Mennonites.

Good catch. There are an awful lot of cars at the Amish barn raising. And I do not see any food, which would be required for an Amish barn raising, though honestly the food might be off screen.

Six months and $1.5 million later, all the permits are not in place and the arguing over the simple sewer can be connected.

Do not even get me started on what a living hell sewer connections can be, but that is not OSHA, and would not apply here. Sewer connections is what some local governments use to stop development they do not like. It is nowhere near federal.

Amish don't bother with permits. They just do things and to hell with the gubmint.

You have no idea how the Amish work.

They are required to obtain permits just as anyone else in the State. Inspections are still conducted for the stuff they build.

They are the best people to inspect. They will help the inspector out, and serve him a large meal. If he wants anything, and I mean anything changed, they will immediately change it.
