Whatever value we might place on the self reliance that they allegedly possess - it's not a successful wealth creation strategy.  Anecdotal stories about an amish millionaire are just that - anecdotes.
Now that you have the Amish nicely pigeonholed - how about you use this mad talent of yours and give us the lowdown on gays, blacks, women, moslems and jews?

Preppers are silly insofar as they are prepping for silly things (zombie apocalypse?). But even then, the advantage of preparing at all spills over to events such as these pandemics, etc.

The zombie apocalypse might be as silly as thinking porcupines shoot their quills, but both beliefs provide an advantage.

As long as the lizard overlords continue to eat the virgin sacrifices offered up, everything thing will remain in order.

I do try to keep up, but the supply of virgins is way down.

The businesses that are most hand to mouth will be the most resistant to enforced stand down.    Landscapers don’t get paid for working from home.

This pandemic hits those too anti-intellectual to not vote for trump disproportionately hard, which is why trump wants to pretend the pandemic is not a real thing.

Makes sense. It’s keeping people employed and doesn’t require much in the way of close contact.
