the downtown area of my home town is simply gone. it used to have a cluster of bars that were always packed, and it’s all just gone now.

Maybe in aggregate. But I can’t speak to that personally. My neighborhood bar is regularly slammed. There was a line around the block for some novelty tot bag at my local coffee shop.
Could just be a Houston phenomenon. But this dogged instance that nobody leaves the house anymore feels more like Internet dogma than fact.

Right… Yeah in aggregate. Just cause you see a counterfactual in person doesn’t make it true. That’s how it works…
And it’s strange, you say you can’t speak to that personally because you saw a line around the block, so what about the person who gave a personal anecdote to the opposite? You both have stories that contradict each other. How does this square in your framework?
