this sounds like a recruitment commercial for the local homosexual bar

but anyways,
it is accurate to observe just how little real friendship there is in so much of American society, culture

you see it in interpersonal conversations, on the highways, in many offices or factory settings, in the deterioration of even minimal civility in our institutions of governance, in the decay of our public square, in the falling apart of so many churches, synagogues, and civic organizations, etc.

less and less civility, meaningful discourse, friendship or even friendliness...in so much of America nowadays

not a completely negative picture, and there are many small towns (especially in ‘fly over country’) where the D-party’s “deplorables”) still maintain a civil society

but overall, there’s been a terrible decay
so maybe the article is reflecting a bit of this

I see evidence of this in the news, every day. But I don’t encounter it in my own daily life. I find the majority of people I encounter to be very friendly and considerate.
