The Impact Of The ‘De-Institutionalization Of American Life’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Tim Carney is correct. When the laws requiring businesses to close on Sunday were in effect, families went to church on Sunday mornings. People may have invited friends and family over for Sunday dinner. Parents took advantage of empty parking lots to teach their children to ride bikes or drive cars. There was time to indulge in after dinner discussions, with the children present, about politics, current events, and every thing else under the sun. Families had the time and took it to create their own special traditions. Once the laws changed to allow shopping on Sundays and Holidays, we became a society defined by our transactions. Brick and mortar churches began to fail. People began to cluster together in the remaining churches by geography rather than by denomination. Churches with a strong mission effort would find that effort supported by multiple churches. The age of church goers went up. That “sweet spot” where church goers still had enough money left over to support their church and other activities had been messed with by the inadequate wages paid and recession. As weekend shopping hours expanded, so did sales. Holidays were cut short with targeted holiday sales. Transactions, not quality of life, became the motivation. Even Thanksgiving was given up to after dinner shopping. When and where were the youth supposed to magically get the ideas that we hold dear? American democracy? Religion? Ethics? Patriotism? When we die most of those objects that we purchased will be thrown out or given away. The only thing that will remain of us is our character and the imprint that we left on our children. Too many Americans have missed essential lessons if they will allow so much death and destruction without a response. Our path forward has been blocked for far too long. It’s time for We the People to take back our country.
Listen to everybody, if you are a left-winger, then you need to get onto right wing sites and post your comments there where maybe you can change some minds. If you are posting here, then you’re just preaching to the choir. It’s fine posting comments with people that agree with you sometimes, but we need to be posting over where the people really need some education. Put “Trump” in the search bar on YouTube, and you’ll find some right wing kooks that need straightening.
Translation: our MAGA friends are too busy sitting around on their butts watching Fox to take care of their own institutions.
The US has systematically sold its institutions to the white collar racket boys. It began with the ”Reagan Revolution”- that was one of it very meanings.
He is spot on. The Republican party only caved to Donald Trump because they saw how fervently his base supported him. He played to his base’s worst instincts and fears to drum up support, and because of it they no longer care how his actions affect America as a whole. They see everyone against themselves as unpatriotic satanic socialists trying to steal their way of life, and Donald Trump is the savior that wants to preserve this outdated idea of America from the 1960s.
If Biden doesn’t make huge changes that everyday Americans will notice, Trump or someone worse that’s smarter will come in and will be elected in 2024 and finish what Trump didn’t accomplish! America is on the brink of being taken over. This can happen to any country! Americans might think the system is too strong for this to happen but look how close Trump got, and it’s not over until January 20th!! We still don’t know if he will leave or his supporters will allow it! His brainwashed supporters might fight to keep him in office cause they’ve been told the election was stolen over and over again!
Goffman… all I have to say
loss of churches isnt such a bad thing. Their time has come been and gone its over
True
Spewing caca out your mouth is not a good fit for you, Morning Joe…….
TRAITORS = reptipublicans= TRAITORS= reptipublicans= TRAITORS=…..
It’s so true. The seeds of dissent are sown in fear and hate. We fear what we do not know. If we’ve retreated to online communities and exchanges in which the only acceptable response is to reinforce what has previously been posted, or your unfriended, excluded, we’ve retreated from cross pollination. We become so homogeneous we fear all “others.” Hate befriends fear. They threaten you. Hate them, destroy them. They are not like you. If you are not like me, if you do not agree with me 100%, you are wrong. It’s sliding ever closer to self destruction.
The key is time. When people have time to think,time to talk, time to learn they get better. This means they can’t be forced to live on incomes insufficient to allow leisure and a feeling their family is personally – and community their community – is secure enough to create a future for themselves. When both parents work several jobs, six days a week, they are too tired to do much on the seventh day.
Lafayette Park was a stun gun warning? The subjugation by king Don is so gd sad
Good luck folks
Dr Steven Gundry teaches how to get stronger. He’s the real deal.
When strife enters- every other evil piggybacks in with it.
Trump kids need to have an intervention.
So what tRump is saying is, the same voting system that got him elected 4 years ago is corrupt. That means, he is legally not the president right now.
Democrats have been able to use this vaccine as the excuse given, to take our basic freedoms away from us. It’s despicable
80,000,000 honest votes for Pres Trump biden/harris maybe one or two. Election was rigged 100 percent they cheated. The lefts 3rd attempt at a coup. This is TREASON, thank you. You people bring the evil and the darkness to America none of you want honest elections your guys would nver win. There are still to many real Americans you will have to get rid of some of us. And add more undocumented immigrants to the voting ranks, this would be treason also.
People freak out when you invoke the “H” word. But a proper examination of Trump cannot be reached without looking at the glaring, obvious comparison. Trump has done EXACTLY what Hitler did, with nearly the same result. If we dare not look at a terrible evil, how can we prevent it?
Who has time money in our country for family. The big guys pay us less and less.Tax people into poor house. Groceries to high . Doctors insurance medical bills. Tax tax tax never ends. Taxes on groceries. FOOD taxes!! BARBARIC ! ! !
