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.
