It kinda depends on what you do when going out. We’ll go to a park and just bullshit with each other. Or go fishing at a local pond/lake (initial investment of fishing gear can be about the same as a restaurant dinner, or less)… doesn’t really matter if we catch anything, we’re just trying to get out of the house. We’ll peruse the library occasionally. Hell, we’ve grabbed a kite for less than like 5 bucks, and sat on a blanket in the park. Going out can be expensive, but our company together is pretty much free and the only thing we’re really after… plus, maybe some sunshine for a bit
A $40 dinner for two at a cheap burger place is still way more than a few more kWh/BTUs of energy use at home, even if you buy and cook something at home. Two low-tier beers at a dive bar cost more than a six pack of a nicer brew you can drink at home. I’ve had to do the math too many times when going out and it hurts.
This is why we’re all home, reading social media on our phones.
It’s fine though, look at that amazing ballroom and peace in the middle east. Economic depression is a small price to pay for minting our first trillionaire and obtaining freedom from anti-corruption laws. Are we great again yet?
Going out can get expensive so it’s better to stay in.

A sad fact.

Nope. It means faster amortisation of your facilities.
Life is expensive no matter what you do.
