You\u2019re cooking and you\u2019re caring for the kids and you\u2019re not in an intergenerational household where the weight can be distributed among different people, some of whom are working full- time, some of whom are not, and you have stay-at-home, usually, women. &#8211; And it \u2014\u2014 &#8211; It has got to give. Something\u2019s got to give. And it seems to me that what gives is community. &#8211; What gives is hosting. &#8211; 100 percent. It is easier to be alone.

Like, if Americans don\u2019t gather more, if we \u2014 and there\u2019s so many ways to do it. We will slide even more into authoritarianism because we actually don\u2019t know each other. Every legal expert in authoritarianism basically says the antidote to authoritarianism is connection. It\u2019s knowing your neighbors. It\u2019s knowing that, hey, how bad could they be? Their first concert was a Toni Braxton concert, right. It\u2019s these tiny little social bridges. And part of modern life, I think, is not assuming that there\u2019s a way to host. Not assuming \u2014 I almost want to go over there and get this framework of a fancy dinner party or whatever your mental model is of what it means to gather out of your
