A recent analysis of census data found that Americans are spending more time at home, and a large part of it alone. The analysis, based on responses to the American Time Use Survey, shows that time spent at home increased by 1 hour 39 minutes a day, or 10 percent, from 2003 through 2022. It’s a trend that rose sharply during the pandemic and had yet to return to more typical levels by 2022 — a sign that the pandemic may have hastened a cultural shift already in progress.
Years before the first stay-at-home orders were enacted, Americans were already beginning to spend more time at home. “It’s a dramatic shift in our daily lives,” said Patrick Sharkey, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton, and the author of the study. “Almost every part of our lives is more likely to take place at home.”

ReplyDeleteNo problem, leaves more room for me to go play outside.
After being forced inside by the social contagion of phony safety measures, it is likely many of us turned to our introverted selves and liked what we saw. Have you BEEN in public and had "cultural enrichment" rubbed in your face? Have you seen the "individual expression" of butt-cracks and heard the "tinkle of children's " vulgarity and ghetto-speak? Want more of that, do you?
ReplyDeleteNo?
Well, raysis, stay home then!
We are headed toward the South African model, barricades and concertina wire; home safety as a response to the decay of American culture should not be a surprise.
Fuck the WWNFL, I don't suscribe to any of the bullshit "services". I'll watch college ball until they fuck that up.
