If you “think” enough about it everything but living in cave fucking a rock is unsustainable and a result of you being too dumb to do everything yourself.
Bet you lazy bastards don’t even sew your own leathers. You’d rather “trade your surplus income for goods and services.”
Having one person deliver multiple meals to different people in a single trip sounds more sustainable than each individual person making the round trip…
The big cities in India have this thing (tiffin) where the husbands ride the trains in to work and the wives stay at home and make their lunches, which they pack into metal containers and take to the train station later in the morning. Workers gather up all the tinned meals and pack them into giant racks which then ride the trains into the cities, and other workers deliver them. It’s actually pretty efficient and makes use of rail capacity which would be otherwise unused.
And despite the scale of this operation, they never - like never - make a delivery mistake.
Yeah that’s interesting. I wouldn’t mind a food bus that drops off food house to house I’m sure that exists in some places and that’s definitely more efficient. Although I’m sure right now the food is the same price and the service costs extra which wouldn’t happen if it came straight from a distro idk.
I was talking about one person bringing one prepared meal for another person.
Afaik it depends on the situation. If it’s an efficient route and a driver accepts multiple orders from the same restaurant they might be able to take more than one. But in general they don’t restaurant hop, and back in the day when I had friends who did Uber eats, it would have to be a choice by the person to pick up more than one order at a time, so it’s one driver per restaurant per time window of accepting and order and delivering it at least. And that’s probably only assuming you’re in a busy city and not a slower rural area.
I only say it’s unsustainable because after the food you order from the restaurant is made there are now two people in the chain for a meal for one person. That doesn’t square up even before you factor in the cost.
Hiring a whole middleman to chauffer your burrito (if you would be able to do it yourself) is unsustainable even if they walked.

How so? Do ingredients for home cooking just apperate? Should everyone live on a farm with public transit nearby?
Lol no, literally my point. Transporting food wholesale to a centralized place is sustainable and efficient.
And then how does that food get from the centralized wholesale place to your kitchen? Im not just talking out my ass, this is a heavily studied topic.

Is DoorDash etc one meal at a time? Do they really not consolidate orders? I didn’t realize…

bringing people food is ableist
