This is what I don't get. As soon as I started reading about all the unfair business practices by delivery companies, I just started picking up my food. Gets me out of the house, removes the middle man, supports local business while cutting out the larger business that funnels wealth to the top echelons. What's not to love?

If it's hot outside or whatever, it's still a small price to pay for doing the right thing.

Are United Statesians addicted to convenience?

Pretty much. Though one factor is in the US there's really dumb zoning concepts that basically led to longer drives to get to business areas. This is why bicycles never really caught on as a major mode of transport in the US, a 5 minute bike ride is one thing to get lunch, a 20 minute ride without any dedicated paths and often restaurants being placed in a shopping hub like area designed around highway access is a different story. It's all a sort of hassle so many people may prefer just ordering in, but yeah otherwise we are pretty lazy lol. Also, on 'doing the right thing'.

Have you seen who we picked as president?
