Are you talking about fact that people order take out? That’s not exactly a new or innovative phenomenon and I’m not sure what it has to do with this conversation.

Overall it sounds like you underestimate the magnitude of the issue. There are millions of Americans who have trouble making rent/mortgage while paying for groceries and healthcare costs. The current solutions aren’t working, we can’t just pour neoliberalism on this situation and expect it to solve itself.

I think the point is that human demand isn't the limiting factor. Americans having trouble making rent, paying for groceries, and healthcare indicates that they need more - not that neoliberalism is a solution to anything.
