Okay so I know it’s cool to shit on these apps and shit on how much you’re making and everything like that, however without apps like this if you think about it we’d have to be back to driving everywhere to go eat at most places most restaurants profits would be down still and you would have to work at those shit restaurants for even worse pay. And that would be just to barely cover your bills, battery you’d have to work some shitty retail job at night or on the weekends to be able to cover anything which also doesn’t pay that much. So frankly people should just be happy that they have an option to be able to do something like doordash or Uber or Lyft or anything else like that. And honestly if people didn’t like it then they don’t have to do it and if people didn’t want to use the service that they don’t have to use the service. Everybody is always going to complain about some industry and some jobs some place for some reason.

How about instead of all that we go back to people making their own food at home and let the restaurant industry die off altogether
Yes, I did that for several years. Didn’t make much money, and wrecked a car. But the amount of places you can order from now has moved from Chinese and pizza to everything.
Delivery being shit is because capitalism captures the market faster than any federated or worker controlled efforts. Corporate starvation wages are thanks to deregulation by neoliberal capitalist cultists. Needing to drive for food itself is a creation of capitalists that lobbied against walkable cities and public transit. This idea of capitalism letting consumers decide how the economy works is a fantasy.
The problem with these apps isn’t that they’re providing the wrong service. The problem is that I am a fucking employee of door dash being treated like I’m an independent contractor. As if I’m a tradesman, a plumber, being brought in on a contract for a plumbing job. I’m not. I’m a delivery driver. Pizza joints the nation over managed to have employee drivers for decades, door dash can manage it too

Nah. That’s idiotic thinking.
Food Delivery Services and drivers existed before these apps

I can’t tell if this is kinda inept unfunny satire or you’re just choking on boot. Please clarify.
Give me a better option then. Go ahead.
