Is there ANYTHING that the federal government can't fix? That is the most remarkable collection of people on earth.
Is there anything more dangerous than a democrap in search of a problem to “fix”?
What if you socially isolate and enjoy it?
That’s why Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) and I introduced H.R. 4859, the bipartisan Protecting Older Americans from Social Isolation Act of 2019, in October of last year to protect older adults from the negative health outcomes caused by chronic loneliness.
Who is against this? can’t vote against this if you are a politician.
VERY LITTLE LEGISLATON IS HELD TO ACCOUNTIBILTY ON SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
I can understand the elderly are more prone to this. Older folks don’t get out as much as others, and , people of a certain age have often seen spouses and other family and friends pass away.
While this can be an issue to be aware of, I hope someine doesn’t decide the solution is some massive new government program. Not every societal ill needs to be “solved”, by some government program.
They want me to quarantine myself, so I’m quarantining myself.
So, leave me alone.
The next step in the nanny state. The government will assign everyone ‘a friend’.
Coalition to End Social Isolation and Loneliness
There will be a lot of activity, but no accomplishing.
Wow. Talk about out of control government!
Our legislation and the efforts of groups like the Coalition and AARP ................................
The War on Intractable Pain Patients creates patients who lose friends, are isolated due to being confined to bed, or clumsy wheel chairs. Doctors make it worse as they don’t debunk the stupid “you get addicted” on one script or shot of Pain Meds. BS. Many have had 28 or more surgeries, tried all the snake oil. Been on the same dosage for 2 decades. You are one accident or disease from joining them.
As Drug War Rages, Most People Who Need Treatment Don’t Get It https://truthout.org/articles/as-drug-war-rages-most-people-who-need-treatment-dont-get-it/
I guess they want government subsidized hugs. :)
First and foremost..All Democrats are scum.
The Number One reason for Social Isolation and Loneliness is Divorce.
Divorce has fractured the American Family and America itself. Lost and lonely Boomers are entering retirement estranged from their partners and families.
Anybody out there
It’s not an illness. Don’t try to solve it by assigning “home health aides.” We already have that. Some of them are nice, kind people, and others are in it only for the money, and what they can steal. (Yes.)
The elderly don’t want pretend friends. They want to spend time with family. Capeesh? Government policies make it difficult, and encourage family to put the old folks in a “home.” (It’s the furthest thing from a “home.”)
Please, government officials, keep your hands off a problem that you have created. You’ll only make it worse.
On reflection,
I isolate myself intentionally as I grow older, and that is not uncommon.
1) all the scams
2) not enough like minded people, too many libs
3) can’t multitask any more so limit activities.
4) too many clouds to yell at........................
What a crock! How about this ‘bipartisan’ group of busy-buddys leave us the hell alone and stop spending our money on BS like this!
