    Some free time isn’t going to combat the societal issues that underpin this.

    I’m often reminded that I live here by how unfriendly people are in public.

    Now, thanks to the Apotek Hjärtat pilot scheme, which started in April, she’s granted 15 minutes a week, or an hour a month during working hours to focus on strengthening her friendships or making new connections. She can use this allotted friendcare time to chat on the phone, make plans over text, or meet up with someone in person.

    Like all participants in the pilot project, she has been given 1,000 kronor ($100; £80) by Apotek Hjärtat to help pay for friendship-based activities during the year-long trial.

    Oh gee thanks for the time to literally do nothing, spaced out across an entire year, and you get $100. They’re supposed to thankful for this, I wonder why people are unhappy.
