Where is personal responsibility in this conversation? Most suburbs have side walks. What prevents people from going for walks? Most WFO people could easily buy a used Total Gym from FB marketplace and work out during the business day. People can buy walking pads for the cube in the office for around $160. People could buy healthier foods and cook at home.
All of this takes time but we’re taking about people with cars. They are probably in an economic class where they can afford better food.

- gadflyinyoureye 2y agoGo around the block a few times.
- eimrine 2y agoYou inside of American cities are as miserable as a bird in the cage. Your language do not even have a word which means not just "to walk" in the sence of "to move yourself on foot" but "to walk for the sake of joy".
- gadflyinyoureye 2y agoYes we do: amble. Noun - a walk at a slow, relaxed pace, especially for pleasure: "a peaceful riverside amble"
