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.

$10/day adds up over time and area.
Cheaper than paying police and paying staff to clean up the buses and paying insurance and inconvenience for all the petty break-ins and smashed car windows.
It would be cheaper to just work all the criminals until they pay off their damages
Right, first pick a crime that is disproportionately enforced towards one minority, then make them do forced unpaid labor as a condition of their sentences.
The extra steps don't change what that sounds like.
So we shouldn't go after criminals because you think it looks bad?
We shouldn't be using slave labor just because you fantasize about it.
We can’t get them to comply with relatively basic requests like “don’t block sidewalks”, what makes you think you'd be able to force them to do useful work? Overseers with whips cost money, how do you expect to do it cheaply enough to turn a profit and pay off damages?
A guy on a car walk with an m16 can oversee a lot of people at once.
And does this guy shoot them if they sit down and refuse to work?
Not profitably.
