I don't understand why so many people can't just go get their own damn food. Uber eats hasn't been around long enough for you all to have forgotten what you did before, has it? How did you survive back then?

I became further radicalized by the indignation of the petty bourgeoisie getting whipped into a frenzy because their sub minimum wage delivery drivers didn't jump through hoops enthusiastically enough for them.

Anything short of the delivery driver beating you with the food while calling you a useless lazy slob is exemplary service as far as I'm concerned.

Socialized system vs capitalized system: The capitalist comes in and uses their venture capital to undercut the socialized system so that people stop using it. Once the socialized system loses interest and funding or are otherwise out of the picture, they they jack their prices up way higher than the original and because they're the only game in town, they get to keep those record profits in effective perpetuity.

Are you trying to imply UPS/FedEx is a socialized system?

Average american. Don't you know? Capitalism is when good and when not good, that's ~~communism~~ socialism.

I don't recall any socialized courier or food delivery services.

Could you imagine? Food delivery apps nationalized then delivered through the USPS?
