    To some extent, sometimes the capitalist meat grinder of work, commuting, lack of time for self-care, parenting expectations, mental health struggles, etc. etc. means people have exactly zero energy left to leave the house after getting home (esp. if there’s no one to stay home with the kids so it means herding tired kids into the car), let alone cooking something up if there wasn’t a recent grocery order and all the easy stuff has been eaten.

    Jesus, I feel exhausted just typing out the hypothetical.

      Am disabled. If it weren’t for grubhub i wouldn’t eat anything but canned soup and frozen meals, and the absurd prices for all the fees and mark ups kill my measly ss payment. Some luxury. I’ll get downvoted for this, I’m sure.
