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.

Japan recently created a Minister of Loneliness and Isolation and I wouldn’t be surprised if more advanced nations follow suit. We’ve created a society that puts productivity, growth, and competition above all else. I hope we’re slowly moving towards a society that realizes we can still be productive with less work and more free time.
Our oligarchs know that it’s more productive to control us less intensely and give us more time off work etc. The common mistake is to think they care about profit, when that’s more of a secondary feature. The truly rich care about power, and maintaining it. They will demoralise their staff to prevent unions even if that costs them heavily, even if the unions will only lose them a million at worst, they would sacrifice 5 million to prevent slaves rebelling.
“Landed gentry”, remember?
if these actually work they will be dismantled immediately
