Self righteous internet person:

“You should not be able to voluntarily work for some extra income because I find it distasteful.”

Yes instead of assigning blame where it belongs (who keeps wages so low necessitating the gig economy?), they decided to blame the consumer.

People that are stuck being reliant on gig jobs like doordash would be rather unhappy and become rapidly poorer if people decided to stop using these apps. But that's what always happens. If buisness collapses the worker suffers and the CEO walks away rich.

OP really decided to make a class issue all about race

This is the redo of the rich person with all the cookies and two poor people fighting over one at the table. Except this person fell for being one of the poor people.

op was punching up, you changed it to punching down.

Criticizing the old fart who cheats on his wife with a prostitute isn't the same as criticizing the prostitute for trying to pay rent.

OP was always trying to punch down. The blame is on the wealthy not the average person ordering door dash.

I can promise you the door dasher and the consumer are both much more close economically than either are to the shareholders or CEO of doordash
