Our system is based on usury and monopolies. And diabolical greed permeating downward from the elites to the wealthy to the upper middle class all the way down to the poorest hillbilly. We worship mammon and ourselves. Collapse and total control is imminent.
Hard times call for hard measures.
As little debt and dependency as possible. That means if possible no mortgage or business loan. Own land far removed from the city. Provide for as much as you can on your own. The rest rely on Christian neighbors doing the same. Embrace this penance. The days of weekly Olive Garden and 30 year mortgages for a 2500 sqf house are over. Continue down that path, you will be a total slave to the system and in a state of existential despair over life.
One solution is buy land out by the Amish and Mennonites. Being a thriving Christian community, living more a Catholic way of life than most Catholics (including me), apart from their heresies. If you are neighborly and helpful to them, they are in return to you. Build a little cottage that you can add on to as your family expands. With a short term mortgage or no mortgage if you can pay cash and do some of it by hand. We have way too much indoor living space. Build a covered front and back deck as living spaces. After all, God designed the human soul, the brain, and the human body to build things like houses and do much for yourself.
A Russian official warned the US of a nuke attack yesterday. Riots are predicted across Europe in a few months. The Dems made a crystal clear announcement last week that the US is now a totalitarian one party system, with that speech Biden read last week.
Hard times call for hard measures. This post-modern experiment in hedonism is coming to an end. Prepare now.
