I mean, most everyone will be disabled at some point in their life. They’re also useful for the average person when they’re sick and don’t have anyone to take care of them. I know I’ve struggled to feed myself when I had the flu or covid.
But even if they are indeed fringe use cases, those services do need to exist for those cases. And restricting them isn’t very helpful either way because applying for any sorts of benefits is often difficult and/or degrading for many disabled people. BUT: we should still encourage those who CAN avoid this stuff to do so, since they are indeed damaging to worker’s rights and the environment.
Me thesis is that vast majority of the users of these services are broke people who have no business using them but the conversation always devolves into some fringe cases needing them…
It is a free market to waste your money as you see please but in current economic context, it is clowny to be whining about being broke and then using thee services.
in the same way taco bell is a substitute for mcdonalds.
this is only a substitute if you assume the problem is poor people having treats, and not employees being fucked out of their pay. if you assume the problem is delivery staff being fucked out of their pay, the problem, and in many cases exact companies/staff, are the same.
I am not even getting into how shiti these parasite treat the workers.
Just merely notting that getting slop delivered by doordash is the most expensive option on the market, everyone is bitching about being poor then proceeda to defend using this trash service
Which is also terriable for the worker on top of that
this isn’t about bitching about being poor, and being worn down to nothing and badgered and bullied by advertising until your will to resist wears out isn’t something you should blame the victim for. if you want to bitch at people about consuming beyond their means, yell at an ad-man.
so, why do trillions of dollars of the economy go to making them make worse ones every day, grinding them down until they don’t have the energy to resist, and pushing them?
just because it’s fun? or does it, to some extent, work? stop blaming victims in a thread about corporations fucking people over.
Those are fringe use cases. Majority of it is conspicuous consumption.
Also, grocery stores sell prepared foods and there other options for these people. Why are they choosing most expensive one?

Nobody suggested Amy restrictions

Who’s down voting this 😂 Big food delivery bots? Or are there really that many people who hate hearing the truth?
Got a few people big mad about it too
Clearly an unpopular opinion lol
Anecdotally, the people I know who order door dash multiple times a week are also people who frequently complain about money
that’s really not the problem here, and do you believe the grocery monopolies wouldn’t do this same shit? that they don’t already?
I am suggesting viable substitution options which is the grocery store prepped food which also does delivery

Ad man ain’t never stopping his shit
But people could make better decisions…

Calling out poor spending habits =/= blaming the victim
Y’all are delulu to be dying on this clown hill.
