"Americans are losing interest in cardio equipment"
Alternatively: Americans started buying exercise equipment when working from home freed up hours and hours of time every week, allowing them to have free time outside of work. Now that executives have decided they need to show workers how powerless they are by forcing unnecessary, and in many cases objectively harmful (to employee health, morale, and most damningly actual productivity) mandatory return to office policies, workers have lost that time and therefore exercise and mental and physical well being take a back seat to executive egos.
- pfdietz 3y agoAlso, many Americans suffering from long COVID can't do cardio. EDIT: not sure why this was downvoted. Long COVID is no joke.
- chrismcb 3y agoDefine "many". I'm sure it isn't enough to make a dent in the number of people who do cardio.
- olliej 3y agoSometimes I do wonder why downvotes happen. I almost feel like downvoting should have a mandatory text field that needs some kind of (original commenter visible) text in it so the downvoting isn't just a trivial instant I-don't-like-this button. I'd be interested in seeing how it would impact downvoting across HN, but also whether it impacted my own downvoting? (@dang feature request? :D)
