Americans are burned out, disconnected, isolated, and starved for time. Maybe it s post-pandemic blues, maybe it s our smartphone addiction, or maybe it's our loneliness epidemic. Whatever the cause, it s serious enough that Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has issued a formal advisory to the nation, calling for action to address this epidemic. The real problem is that our social institutions have been summarily destroyed over the course of decades, largely by government. In order for you to earn benefits of being a member of a community, you have to be in the community. In our community, that means when someone falls on hard times, that we all try to bridge the financial gap for people, and that we'll make sure that somebody is able to drive our neighbor's kids home if their parents are stuck at work. But once government stepped in, people no longer had to have skin in the game. Now they had entitlements by dint of breathing. You're here, therefore somebody owes you money. And instead of getting charity from the government, which might come with the requirement that you actually be part of the community and good to your neighbor, instead of going to the office. Government would no longer provide the benefits they were in the 1930s. Instead, they were no longer required to borrow money through the gap of social support. And then government tried to replace the church and destroyed community in the process. And then, in the late 19th century, the first step was the substitution of government benefits for the earned membership of a church. and then government was the replacement of the social structure itself by the social order itself. by replacing the role of the church with the role it played by government by the government. The social order by the New Deal policies that replaced the church in order to be given the role that was given to the poor and the poor, and the need for social support by government . a government that was no longer responsible for your children s care and the work they received from the community they got bigger and bigger, and they got a bigger call on the government to do the work of their neighbors instead of the job they did the work that they were supposed to do for you . and so on and so they got the bigger they got more and bigger. the government got to pay the bigger, better, and so much more, and now they get the bigger benefits from the bigger government.
