    For a lot of people, those exist, but I feel like you need to spend some time without taxis for your burrito.

    Not in like a punishment way. In like a ‘touch grass’ way. I’ll talk to you again when youve spent a couple months on a remote island eating dried food and enjoying the relatively unfucked nature, cooking and existing for yourself. Maybe have a big dramatic primal struggle or fall in love with a bird or something.

    Then when you can come back and acknowledge that the same services can be done non-exploitatively, similar services can be done more efficiently, the life you built on toxic exploitation may need some effort to adapt to a world that doesn’t have toxic exploitation¹, and most of your underlying assumptions are about made-up imaginary bullshit that doesn’t represent anything real anymore–if it ever even did in the first place, we can talk.

    ¹and in the event of the two being irreconcilable, I consider your life much much more expendable.

      Wow what a rambling incoherent non-answer they could ever be posted. I can’t a crap tone I don’t rely on these services I do probably 40 to 50 nights a year of camping I also cook pretty much all my food I’ve been a professional chef in the past and I understand the industry the process and the how to. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t get home late at night and want to order some food or want to spend a weekend in my pajamas and not leave the house at all. Services exist for a reason. There’s a reason Chinese food delivery and pizza delivery has been a thing for decades. And those places always say they’re exploiting the employees as well. Before it was doordash and Uber and all the other companies doing it they’re claiming how bad the wages for those companies were. Bill always be something to complain about and they’ll always be people like you that just say don’t use the service and I say fucking use it. That’s what it’s there for. If they didn’t want to be paid to do it they could go find something else to do.
