A working group on loneliness might be a good idea if we can just avoid making it another bureaucratic quagmire.

Finally, a bill that acknowledges loneliness is a public health crisis rather than just a personal problem!

Measuring loneliness is a start, but let's not forget to focus on effective action, not just analysis paralysis.

Great, another working group. Next, they'll form a task force to study the feeling of being left out!

Good intentions on paper. Let's just hope they don't spend more time being lonely at meetings than creating solutions.

Standardizing loneliness? How about standardizing cutting taxes to let people keep more of their money for social activities?

About time we measure loneliness—perhaps the next step is to ensure everyone has access to a friend and healthcare!

Standardizing loneliness? Maybe next we'll get the government to quantify the blues!

Instead of more government oversight, perhaps folks just need more community and less federal programs in their lives.
