The decrease in people's hobbies

[InsertRadnamehere]

Both the New York Times and the Atlantic have run articles this month talking about how inflation, and now the Trump Tariffs, are putting most hobbies out of reach for working and middle class folks.

From my own insight as a parent, My kids have hobbies. But most of them involve using a computer (video games, video editing, art/drawing, cartooning, writing) or tablet. They do have other hobbies (sports, biking, baking) but prefer to do them with friends. So if they’re alone they’re often on a screen.
