>  convenience and recreation maxxing

I really have a hard time listening to people cry about hard they have it driving newer cars, using newer phones, and never cooking. No one can buy a home these days. It's too expensive.  It is expensive but we addicted to having stuff now.

I order delivery fairly often, and to be honest it's because I usually value my time and convenience more than the added costs (because you actually pay twice, the delivery fee, and the higher item price, not to mention tip).

I've never done it for just one item though.  If I order delivery it's usually a meal for the whole family.  And $700 a week sounds crazy to me also.

Is it that the convenience is too enticing? Are people just too busy these days to cook?

I think it's convenience and recreation maxxing. I also think digital life feels like it's moving so fast that we can't spare the time away from screens.

Why spend 30 minutes cooking and cleaning when I can spend that time scrolling (or whispering to my bot) and get the precise thing that I'm craving?
