We need the government to deliver food to our doorsteps? Shouldn't the stores provide this service? If there were demand and a sustainable business model, wouldn't they? Costco delivers, to commercial customers. I imagine they are not necessarily losing money doing that, but perhaps.

Here is the neat thing.
They want stores to be government owned too.
Why should stores be in the business of delivery? It's not a common thing.

Pizza delivery has been a thing long before door dash, and is usually much cheaper.

15 years ago, every pizza or chinese food place would have employees hanging out waiting to take delivery orders
