American men are stuck in what’s been dubbed a friendship recession, with 20 percent of single men now saying they don’t have any close friends.

I hate the casual attempt to make people think in capitalist economic terms about literally everything so fucking much. My roommate is like this, she uses the word “profit” to refer to any good thing whatsoever, including nice social interactions. The language of The Market has been screwed into her personality like a bone graft, it’s disgusting.
