I have a prescription for going to the gym
A prescription for good health is sadly lacking. Apparently, there is simply more corporate money to be made from people's suffering than from their health.
Don't be afraid to compliment strangers, sometimes they really need to hear something positive, and it can drastically improve their day.
Most of the problems in the world would evaporate if people were simply nice to each other.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
