Yeah those kinds of places can’t survive when working people have no disposable income. It’s part of what’s driving all the isolation and lonliness. All the free third places are long gone except libraries, and many of the paid third places are collapsing because there isn’t enough disposable income going around to keep them open. People stay home and doomscroll because they already paid for the phone plan and can’t afford to do anything else.
