I find this relevant, how we are less connected with those that provide services: https://youtu.be/q1jRx6VzzhI
Think about how you transform behind the wheel. This morning, at the buzzer for school dropoff. Three of us at stop sign fighting to go through first to grab street parking.. all end up parking together bc we're in the same community at the same school.. the woman who angrily gestured at me for doing nothing wrong... Same friend who's kid I carpooled in the morning last week. She probably had no idea it was me. And I don't feel any differently about her bc I get it.
Because everything is through an app now. God forbid you call a cab or the restaurant directly to order your food?
I get pizza every other week from my local pizza joint. Delivery driver is always the same and I know a shit app like Uber eats isn't taking a cut for jack shit.
The problem is we want more for less. People need to understand for the things they want they have to pay more and we aren't there yet. People don't give a shit. They want cheap and disposable.
Most restaurants do not deliver and I think its honestly ridiculous to call a cab to go to and back to a restaurant when delivery services exist. If you happen to live in one of the rare places that have good public transit that's a great option though.
