Able to afford to throw hundreds of dollars per month towards the convenience of having food delivered. Important to note that this doesn’t account for the price of the food (or that the prices are inflated on top of eating out), just the delivery fees and tips.

You do realize that the people you should be angry at make hundreds to thousands of times more than a person who can afford delivery apps makes, right? You have been fooled into hating your own class.

I’m not reading any anger in their message. Seems like a pretty innocent joke.

I think the average American is making just about enough to get by, and probably would have a hard time, though not an impossible one, affording an extra ~$2k a year. (I can’t find a solid figure for the average household living wage in the US, but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty close to the average household income)
It is a bit weird to define above average wage as rich though. But there is really no definitive class border so I think it’s slightly useless to argue about. You can also define above average as rich while still directing your hate towards the .1%.
Also I don’t really detect any hate there?

Who am I angry at?
