Everybody's home, but nobody's coming over
Original: Everybody’s home. No one’s coming over
Derek Thompson's new essay, 'The Death of the American Host', argues that Americans have largely stopped inviting people into their homes. Time-use data show socializing at home and hosting guests has declined sharply, with people increasingly staying in alone. Readers are debating the causes, citing screens, loneliness, cost of living, and the loss of hospitality habits.
Why now: The essay touches a nerve about post-pandemic loneliness and declining face-to-face social life.
