Today I’m introducing a groundbreaking bill - the National Strategy for Social Connection Act.
It creates a federal office to combat the growing epidemic of American loneliness, develops anti-loneliness strategies, and fosters best practices to promote social connection.

I completely agree, but this type of response to it is snake oil. Many anti-capitalists view our social alienation as a required part to keep capitalism functioning, and any superficial attempt to fix it such as this post shows, is just to make it look like they are trying to fix it. See regulatory bodies allowing … everything bad.
Any attempt at fixing things is just a whitewash job? Whatever. We might as well all march I to the sea, huh?
And disallowing… everything good.
Which is why conservatives are preemptively shrieking about this. They don’t want recruitment to go down.
