But the incels are the most intense manifestation of a societywide problem: How do we get lonely young men to log off and rejoin society? How do we convince these men that they are not, as the killer believed, “barred from actualizing your potential?” 

...

The solution to this loneliness epidemic and all the downstream dangers that flow from it, is painfully simple: We need to break this internet addiction and get disaffected young men into physical, shared spaces again. The difficult part, the thing we haven’t yet figured out, is how we do that.

No one wants to gamble on a $17 (not including tax or tip) cocktail that a girl might want to talk

I would gamble on a $3, hell even a $5 cocktail if everything else was so relatively affordable. The problem is even fast food corps are speculative RE investors now, and they need you to pay $7 for a shitty combo deal to finance their gambling habits.

I think the root of it is really: existing outside of home is just too expensive.
