You Are No Longer Invited to Dinner
Writer Derek Thompson argues that American hosting culture is dying: people increasingly decline dinner invitations, stop entertaining at home, and socialize mainly in transactional settings like restaurants or not at all. Drawing on survey data showing declines in time spent hosting friends, he links the trend to loneliness, cost pressures, and shifting social habits, prompting debate about whether the disappearance of the home dinner party signals a broader erosion of community life.
Why now: The essay taps into widespread concern about declining friendship, loneliness, and the loss of in-home social life in America.
