How about, you know, a grocery store?
Genius! Never thought about that!...
I order food maybe 2-3 times a year.
What makes you think i exclusively order food? -
Food was cheap for a long time, and mental healthcare is prohibitively expensive.
Much more financially responsible to eat one's feelings.
-
5 euros is cheaper for delivery than 15 for a train ticket. Its not that big of a deal honestly. I don't know the pricing in america but its not to bad where i live. The food itself is becoming way to expensive though.
I only order food a few times a year so its no problem.

And you really think so many people are on these medications that they make up a serious percentage of the market share?
How do all those people get to work on their medication?
There are a lot of medication you really shouldn't drive on, it's a common side effect, so probably hundreds of thousands if not in the millions
How do all those people get to work on their medication?
Buses, Uber, Family/Friends, medication timing (eg not taking until you get to work and not taking the next dose till after), WFH jobs

Almost everyone on uber eats (and similar services) mark up their items. This sausage burrito meal is $10 on uber eats and is 8 something in store
-
Delivery fee 5.99
-
tip (whatever you want to pay)
For a normal meal this will more than double the price. Order just about anything else and you’re easily at $30 with still almost half the price being the delivery.
That's crazy

75 cents a mile is the actual cost of driving a car.

Or, you know, driving under the influence.
-
Not everyone is ordering for a single person.
-
Normal people have a stocked fridge and are not constantly drunk.
If being drunk seriously affects your shopping schedule, you have an alcohol problem.

The real trick, I’ve heard, is to work remotely for a U.S. company. Get all the benefits of a civilized country but they pay you the bigger salaries(if you work in a field that isn’t 100% rat-fucked yet).
-
USPS should not focus on profitability and fuck Uber and the gig economy.
-
In essence this is Socialism vs Capitalism.
-
I know some in Europe as well. A colleague from work regularly eats a large menu with an additional burger and chicken nuggets for lunch.
-
A letter doesn’t cost as much as overpriced food.
-
I thought they were taking the piss with the $30, is that for real?
I used to live in Morocco and I paid about $3 a month for free deliveries with their local equivalent.

Shhh, Musk might hear you and destroy it.

As an American, I can tell you it's true, and we don't realize it in large part because portion sizes in the US are crazy. A medium-sized beverage here would be a large in most other countries. Restaurants traditionally serve huge portions of food, supposedly originally so that no matter how big your appetite, everybody would get enough to eat and have leftovers to bring home. But now people just eat it all.
Add in all the sugar that's in our food (thanks to a health propaganda campaign that convinced people fat was bad, most fat is replaced with sugar - especially high-fructose corn syrup), which is way more fattening than actual fat, and the lack of pedestrian access to most things, and you've got a perfect recipe for an obesity epidemic of people who eat too much, drink too many sugary drinks, and don't exercise enough.
