> You have to get out into the world and invest in others.

I agree. So with the context of that statement I will give you my opinion about your other statements:

> I have a tech company and most staff want to come to the office 1 day a week.

How many of those staff have to do work in the office? There's no reason to go to the office if you can work from home other than to socialize with others. And I don't know about you, but I think socializing with coworkers leads to a very unprofessional work environment. I'd rather stay professional.

> Getting them to come is very tough.

As it should be. Work shouldn't be their only way to socialize.

> Many of my staff and friends don't want to have kids, make no effort to find a partner and find all sorts of excuses.

I don't want to have kids. I wouldn't mind a partner but I don't particularly make an effort to find one.

What you see as excuses are perhaps your own opinion.

I particularly think it to be really fucking selfish to bring a child into the world when the child won't succeed better than you. Despite the tech sector and certain trade sectors, the job market is shit. Education is shit. Climate is shit. Government is shit. Neighbors are shit. Why the hell would you think now is the time to have children?

> Netflix, the internet and these things are part of the problem, but I have no clue what the solution is.

But on that point I quite agree with you

Everyone is different. There is not "the solution". There are many, sometimes mutually exclusive, solutions.

For me: work shouldn't take up all of the time I would require to run errands. Other businesses' time are completely within my own employer's time. There's literally zero time for me to go deal with a bank problem or take the car or lawnmower to the shop. If I have an electrical, or plumbing, or stovetop, or refrigerator issue that needs immediate attention then I have to take time off of work to do that. And there's only a few weeks given for that. I've seen people have to take a few weeks off just to deal with problems and then they have zero time for themselves. Where are they supposed to find time to build relationships or fix the problems that matter to them?

> There is only one way to not be lonely - be with people who care about you.

I've been around for a few years. It's one thing to care about someone; I care about many people! But I don't really want to learn more about them because what they're interested in is utterly empty and devoid of meaning to me. I imagine it's the same in reverse: the people who care about me don't really want to care about the things that I care about. That's where loneliness is.

You say you have a tech company and I see from your bio that you're "founder and president". How much steering can you provide? Can you steer your company's goals to align with the things that your employees care about? Because until that happens then I won't believe that you really care about your employees.

You care about your company and, on the peripheral, are your employees who seem to be dragging their feet with regards to your company. And that makes you peripherally concerned about your employees but not meaningfully concerned. At least, that's the surface impression I get without knowing who you are, what you do, or anything about your company; an assumption. I hope I'm wrong :)
