I don't buy through food delivery apps, I only order delivery if the store itself provides the service.

And I didn't vote for Kamala Harris, not because of Gaza, but because she sucks in a lot of areas. I also didn't vote for Trump because he also sucks in a lot of ways. My state is heavily partisan, so me voting for one or the other feels like more of a wasted vote than voting third party, because everyone knows which party will win my state before the primaries even start, so I might as well juice the third party numbers a bit.

Last time I tried ordering food I spent an hour trying to find a restaurant that still had delivery drivers on staff.

Fucking capitalism is killing everything.

I just stick to two or three, and drive to the rest. I don't order delivery enough to need more than that.

Are you for fucking real? Capitalism is killing your ability to lay on your ass and order food brought to you? Have you no sense of irony, history or context?
