Our benevolent overlords in the government have found another problem to "fix." This time the issue is "social isolation" and the dangers it poses to mental health.
In a massive 81-page advisory report is entitled "Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation," released by the Surgeon General's office, we are told that loneliness can be as dangerous to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It increases the risk of premature death by nearly a third. It's linked to higher risks of heart disease, stroke, addiction, self-harm and dementia. Ooh, that's some scary stuff.
It's no accident this report refers to social isolation as an "epidemic." Trigger word! Emergency! If it's an epidemic, the government must help! Since, of course, the government always offers solutions to problems it "discovers" out of thin air, this report gives six government-directed "pillars" of action to address the health hazards of social isolation. The report was summarized by Stella Morabito with The Federalist, and these "pillars" offer a remarkable blueprint toward total control.

Build a social infrastructure. The government now wants to regulate and monitor the events and institutions that make up community life, including housing, libraries, parks and recreation spaces, transport systems, etc. Notably, since some people have better access to such locations than others, the report recommends federal interventions (a chilling term) to make sure everyone has equitable access. Conveniently, this kind of social infrastructure can be found within the recommendations for the so-called "15-minute cities." Tentacles.
Enact pro-connection public policies everywhere. Specifically, "Government has a responsibility to use its authority to monitor and mitigate the public health harm caused by policies, products, and services that drive social disconnection." Um, why? Where in the Constitution and Bill of Rights is the government granted to "use its authority" to address these issues? Whatever tactics they use, "Diversity, equity, inclusion, [DEI] and accessibility are critical components of any such strategy." Tentacles.
Mobilize the health sector. This is done by expanding "public health surveillance and interventions." Tentacles.
Reform digital environments. Specifically, "We must learn more by requiring data transparency from technology companies." Tentacles.
Etc., etc., etc..............
“The private life is dead.”
Gee....from the people that locked everyone down for a couple of years, including the poor elderly people in nursing homes who couldn’t even see their own family members. These people are a joke. In any case, doesn’t this help contribute to their “population reduction” goals?
Judy, Judy, Judy......... Lonliness is a killer and should be left to do it’s job. Or something. 😉👍
The 3rd Amendment prohibits the government from quartering soldiers in private residences. It says nothing about the “homeless” or illegal aliens.
These groups that focus on stuff like this and bring it to the
government to fix, really need to find something productive
to do with their time.
Some of us actually like being alone. We don’t have to associate with jerks as a result.
Can I get the Swedish Bikini Team to be my friends?
I thought the loners turned to homosexuality and called themselves “transgenders” to solve their social acceptance issues.
Whenever the government gets involved, you get more of it.
If was interested in not being lonely, my friend would be locked in a closet during the times I don’t need conversation.
Roger that X2. Now, get off my lawn! 😂👍
Skipped!
LOL
That’s why they are driving rents through the roof. When you have 45 people living in a 12000\ month 1 room apartment nobody is lonely

And if young Nigel says he's happy

We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed,"

The same government officials who illegally issued Pfascist diktats to lock down people, force injection rape on them, now expect them to interact with the same Pfascists who aligned themselves with the government officials?
The trust is gone. No Refunds.
We childproofed teh house but the little boogers still get in somehow.
