In part because health care is expensive. Having to pay some or all of my own healthcare costs forces me to make better choices on lifestyle and service providers. If H/C is free there is no (financial) incentive to make good life choices.
Find whatever church in your area conducts the Latin mass and go there. The Novus Ordo parishes have devolved into nothing.
Remember Jesus' words to Peter - And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)
"The Bible clearly teaches that society will degenerate in the end times, becoming as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). The Apostle Paul, speaking as a prophet, says that society will descend into a black pit of immorality, violence, and paganism (2 Timothy 3:1-5). He asserts that men will be “lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure.” People will be “boastful, arrogant, and unholy,” and children will be “disobedient to parents.”
We should be deeply concerned over these developments, not only because we are witnessing the destruction of our beloved America, but because both Jesus and Paul prophesied that when these things occur, the Church will come under attack and individual Christians will be persecuted.
Jesus said that as lawlessness increases, “most people’s love will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12). He stated that in this hostile atmosphere, many professing Christians will “fall away” and will proceed to cooperate in the persecution of their former brothers and sisters in Christ (Matthew 24:10). Paul indicates the same thing when he says that people will be “haters of good” and that they will therefore be “brutal” and “reckless,” reviling those who stand for righteousness (2 Timothy 3:2-4)."

I had a teacher in grade school who was a total germophobe. She made her daughters shower or bathe 3x each day. They were always sick. The doctors told her the problem was they were too clean. Doctor told her to let her kids get exposed to the real world so their immune systems could develop.
Can anyone recommend any reading materials to help me understand what this means, and anything along the lines of monetary policy for dummies...I know enough to know to have my money in hard assets (oil, metals, real estate), but don't know what reverse repo means. Thanks.
But electric cars are OK?
