  This is stupid. We pay other people to do things we can’t or don’t want to do all the time. That’s what economy is.

  The fact that people who order takeout could also cook at home instead doesn’t diminish the impact of the inflation spikes that began with Putlers invasion. You can’t fix the problems of neoliberalism on an individual level.

    Not necessarily, if you own a home AND your pay slowly goes up to compensate (both of these unfortunately aren’t happening for a lot of people), relative to your income your mortgage goes down.

    Or in more generic terms, inflation is good if you borrow money.

      If your interest is less than inflation.

      Like my colleague who bought a house for about 1.5% before inflation nearly went to 10. Man.

      Inflation was added to your mortgage rate. And now that everyone saves with real estate instead of saving money, the cost of real estate is very high.

      So while your payments do go down over time, your hours worked to either rent or own have gone up.

    No inflation would mean that we would have no interest on our bank accounts, no wage increases, no profit increases etc. It is part of the circular economy, and it can work according to that theory, but we all together need to reform starting with the massive companies.

  I’m a middle aged man. I’ve paid my mortgage. I’ve got savings. My pension is doing alright. I’ve got my shit together.

  I still eat beans on toast more often than I get a takeaway. You don’t need to send half your dinner money to the silicon valley cunts that are fucking everything up. Support your local food places by going in, that way they get all the money.

    This cost me 1.80USD. Turns out if the government works to keep food prices low and gets rent down to 300-400/mo in the middle of major cities, 1 person running a small busibess can feed a lot of people cheaply.Image

  Burritos should ride on the bus.

    New startup: BusGrub.

    You put in an order for what you want and pick a timeslot a few hours in the future. E.g. for dinner, you put your order in at like at like noon and pick a 5-7pm window. Then, approaching your scheduled slot, a bus goes all around the area, picking up every order for that slot in the area, then swings around to each drop-off over the course of like two hours.

    Result: Everyone enjoys cheaper, but gross soggy food.

    Please give me $20 mil starting capital, thanks.

  I notice that learning to cook is never an option

  source

  • burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    buying groceries is also more expensive than it should be. you also have to take the time to go do that, and if you don’t have a car youre not likely to be getting very much stuff. then, you have to prepare the food, cook the food, and clean up after. i dont know about you, but my prep space, cooking space, and cleaning space are all the same small counter. im perfectly capable of cooking a meal, but I also hate cooking and don’t enjoy it, for all the reasons i just said.

    My niece was highly Uber eats dependent. Got her an air fryer for Christmas and it literally changed her life. Sometimes people want better but don’t know how to get there

    In this case however, both are bad.

      Both is good is more in reference to picking both as the problem is good. Not that either choice is any good lol.

  The costs of Doordash/Uber Eats gets socialized pretty heavily. Where I live, most restaurants just upped their prices 20-30% across the board to account for the DSP fees. Most of the time I’m ordering from Doordash, it’s genuinely cheaper than actually eating in the restaurant

  source

  • DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s strange. Where I live, Doordash and all the other delivery services list higher menu prices than what you’ll see at whichever restaurant you go to. If a menu item is normally $15, Doordash will list it as $18. This is before they even add the service fees.

    source

    • buttnugget@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think that’s probably everywhere. They passed a delivery service fee limit law here and parasites like DoorDash literally just whined about it in the app and added some additional fee right there.

    Yup, I just jump from deal to deal and have Dashpass. Ends up being almost the same price as getting it myself.
