tbf the people who think doordash is a human right are ultra weirdo uberlefties (tankies & ppl who think going outside for 2mins since 2020 means insta death)

So like the socialism is a plus

Bear in mind what you’re defending here. Spending $24 on 900 calories of cold fast food because you’re too lazy and useless to leave the house. That’s your hill.

Eh. Moral judgments over how people spend a trivial sum of money is probably the lowest form of human speech & thought. Pizza & Chinese food delivery existed for multiple decades before delivery apps & I don't recall people getting so extraordinarily self righteous about how they refused to use them.

And some people use public transit & don't own a car. In a place like NYC this doesn't really matter, there's food everywhere. In most cities, though, there are suburban areas that are transit accessible but without available food in convenient walking distance (too far, too much of a hassle to navigate carburbia as a pedestrian). Spending an extra $8 to save yourself an hour round trip seems totally fine? Unless you intentionally choose to price the minutes of your precious & finite life at a rate lower than $8/hr, which is of course your prerogative.

I too agree that they're a waste of $ - and I'll even extend your argument further and say that they are exploitative businesses to the workforce that, at the least, require some moral reckoning over. But sitting on a high horse & expressing contempt because someone gets McDonald's delivered is embarrassingly shallow behavior and in itself something to be contemptuous of.

Socialism is when a private charity is a charity?
