That’s so spot on. Especially the part about that online platforms that dominate life in 2022 having almost negative incentive for us to gather in real life.

I feel the same way about missing bars. I miss airports a lot too. Airports may be the last place in the country where everyone is just stuck on the other side of security waiting a few hours for their flights to take off. Everyone is on equal footing, having a few drinks and talking to a stranger at 9am is socially acceptable. Have had some of the most interesting conversations with strangers from every walk of life in the airport. It’s a shame that mentality doesn’t seem to exist in many other places.
