    We should make some places where people go to flirt and meet new people. It isn’t healthy for society as a whole not to have any place where it is appropriate to approach each other. That used to be bars for older generations but that seems to have changed and GenZ also consumes much less alcohol than older generations.

      As far as I can tell, all spaces where this could happen require an hourly spend of at least 10$. The few places that don’t, usually have no water, bathroom, heat nor electricity

        Oh, I know there are none currently, but that doesn’t mean we as a society can’t decide to have something akin to a community centre where people could meet and do stuff for free. It would also probably boost birth rates while helping people be less lonely and I think it would be more effective than trying to ban birth control and abortion, so it would also make sense for Western nations to fund this if politicians actually cared about these sorts of things

          Yes, we have those in Canada, rich people complain about them, they’re not very exciting however, I find, like after school classes … but maybe that’s just me, I prefer things to be more computery
