Dennis Prager argues Americans are increasingly isolated, spending more time at home and less time socializing. He compares modern loneliness to solitary confinement and points to economic barriers like expensive concert and sports tickets as a reason people stay home.
Time spent at home in the US has been rising in parallel with social isolation and loneliness. Exactly. Hello. Solitary confinement is a torture. We're not trading dining in at a restaurant for hosting people for dinner. We are simply eating more at home alone. The lead comments in the New York Times on that article was that people can't afford to go out to a restaurant, they can't afford a ballgame, they can't afford theater tickets. On a regular game, not opening day, the average ticket at a Dodger game this past year was $295. That what these people are writing makes sense. How many people could afford $300 per ticket? But no, very few people go to a baseball game alone. So if you go with one person, it's, it's $600.
