> a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time

looks like Francis is wrong, and not a Catholic nor a pope
When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a who...

[Verse 1] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay So I can sit out here and waste my life away Drag back home and drown my troubles away
[Pre-Chorus] It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is
[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
[Verse 2] I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat And the obese milkin' welfare
[Verse 3] Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down
[Pre-Chorus] Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is
[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
[Outro] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay

Yeah I often see people discussing minimum wages and living wages, this was a different concept I stumbled upon for people to think about, which makes sense for society to consider because if workers have families they're not simply trying to earn a "living wage" (enough for them) but also enough for kids and/or spouse, etc.
family wage: enough to support a whole family by one breadwinner (traditionally thought of as an individual male; even with dual breadwinners you could still have an idea of how much a "family wage" would be that pays for the costs of the whole family)
living wage: enough to support an individual
minimum legal wage: legally allowed minimum to pay per hour (I don't know how common it has been for a minimum wage to be enough to raise a family)

This contrasts with a living wage, which is generally taken to mean a wage sufficient for a single individual to live on, but not necessarily sufficient to also support a family. As a stronger form of living wage, a family wage is likewise advocated by proponents of social justice. Family wage campaign was aiming to maintain the traditional family structure, as a concept connecting economics and family structure it is one of the examples of how economic structure of family, which is a subject of the field family economics, affects overall economy beyond the family. > > > The term "family wage jobs" has occasional contemporary use in American political rhetoric and is most associated with Catholic intellectuals, in the Catholic social teaching tradition > > The debate about "living wages" vs. minimum wages ignores structuring jobs for the needs of the family and (traditionally male) breadwinners

I do think it's good to create a healthy culture that respects workers, but I don't understand why being able to fire an employee is a bad thing
Imagine you're not allowed to fire people you don't like who you think are doing a bad job at work
if you try "leftists (or liberals) more likely to be mentally ill" in a search engine you see things like:
American adults who identify as politically liberal have long reported lower levels of happiness and psychological well-being than conservatives, a trend that mental-health experts suspect is at least partly explained by liberals’ tendency to spend more time worrying about stress-inducing topics like racial injustice, income inequality, gun violence, and climate change.

handicapped spots
if they're not being used, maybe they don't need to exist?
I've seen people say it's kind of weird people want the "handicapped" to be both treated equally and have special parking spots?
Marriage is the sacred bond between a husband and wife which may allow for the biological production of children, as God created people male or female "in the image of God"
It's therefore impossible for two people of the same gender to marry as it is outside of the divinely constituted institution of marriage, and the encyclical discusses at length the beauty of the matrimonial union
Higher-ups in the Church would therefore of course not sanction unnatural unions and would insist upon relationships that satisfy the mutual longing of man and woman
it's no big deal if if doesn't functionally prevent anyone from getting in and out and if it's just a quick move

anyone who does any actual housework
I think you understand, maybe others have not had the same experience, and I should have perhaps asked people if they have done or do housework and have "felt the burn" from it or not
artificial exercise equipment at home
This was also what I was reasoning lately, that I would try to "exercise" and do "chores" and it was kind of overwhelming, so maybe I could just skip the "exercise" and get more chores done, which is a win win on saving time not "exercising" and getting exercise from the physical chores or work. I've sometimes felt like gyms are a "scam", in that there's probably some kind of practical manual labor "work" that could be done as "exercise" instead that produces something.
housework burns a lot of calories
I guess I should have added more clarity. There may be a few reasons why people don't recognize housework as "exercise".
Firstly, the word "housework" is a bit unclear. Maybe I consider more broadly things to be "housework" while some people are envisioning something simpler like baking which may seem to be pretty inactive if you're just moving some light ingredients around.
Another issue is everyone's living space may be different; for example, people with stairs might burn more calories going up and down them versus people on a flat level or with elevators.
Maybe some people move slowly, where they might be able to move faster, or lift less weight when they might be able to load themselves with more for a greater workout at once, or maybe they don't do as much when they could add more chores to their routine.
Some of the tasks include:
cleaning, which might involve walking around to mop or scrubbing (which feels like an intense workout of muscles).
moving things around, like groceries, trash, machines like vacuum cleaners, laundry, furniture, children, etc.
moving up and down stairs, which burn about double the calories versus walking (this may depend on people's environment)
walking around in general which can involve a lot of steps
making things, or like weeding, working with manual tools, and so on
a lot of people don't consider housework to be exercise for some reason
I've heard the word travel etymologically is related to the word for torture, probably because throughout history travel could be difficult and people were subject to many dangers
Monks would be encouraged to stay in their cell to focus on God and not be distracted by the world through travel, in contrast to the "traveling constantly" ideal
It can be expensive to travel; we can "travel virtually" for much cheaper
But some things may require travel, like meeting new people or being at specific places to work on things
edit: there's also a lot of different forms of travel; for religious purposes, there's the pilgrimage, while in modern times some have made travel in to a form of volunteering which may change the dynamic of the nature of the travel
