DoorDash has more value when you’re poor because you are less mobile, and more generally are less likely to have a well outfitted kitchen, and I see a lot of younger people who are inexperienced cooks using it.

It’s no secret that it’s a terribly fast way to burn cash but a downward spiral of depression from being poor -> ordering food because you’re too depressed to cook -> depression from being poor can occur. Mind that I’d advise such people hoard frozen dinners and save a whack of cash, it isn’t quite the same.

I honestly think that poor people can even UNDERESTIMATE how valuable debt-fueled DoorDash and Uber usage is if they expect upwards economic mobility in the near future (Students) since it’s one of the better time/money tradeoffs they can do.
