Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

A range of alcoholic drinks

But now:

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?

Are MAGA the "useful idiots" for the radical-right billionaires like Charles Koch and Elon Musk?

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket
