No one bothers to engage with me on any topic. It leads me to believe it's because im right and they cant knowingly present an argument to refute it. Or, it could be because they think it's so idiotic there's no point in trying to explain what seems so obvious to someone who appears to be "not-all-there".
I was walking through a plaza to get to my apartment co.plex. It is a routine walk Ive been making for a decade. A lady stops me and asks me if the restaurant in the plaza was good. It was a delicatessen. I told her that it had gotten so expensive to eat out I wouldn't know. It's hard to spend 20 dollars on a meal you cant get your money back for because it was awful simply because you wanted to broaden your horizons and try something new.
The lady agreed and said, "haha I know that's right."
Lately, ive been having these strange feeling where I can feel I can talk to certain people and not others.
So I got the vibe from her after her response and said, "Hey, get this, I figured out what all the corporations like Uber Eats and Door Dash are doing as well as the grocery delivery services."
She replied, "What dis you figure out?"
These corporations have managed to figure out how to make us pay for their employees labor. First, they charge double to triple what the item costs if you went and got it yourself. Then they hit you with a delivery fee, taxes, service fees. Then they try to guil trip you or build you up as an upstanding person by tipping a ridiculously high or average amount so THEIR employees can have a living wage. As consumers, we shouldn't be responsible for tipping any delivery driver. The delivery charge amd service fee should go to them in the first place along with their employees wage. And they've convinced their employees if we dont tip well after being charged double to triple the cost of the food with all the added fees that suck up what money we would've gladly tipped out of common decency and appreciation are now "unofficially" ok to eat, or contaminate, or lose their order.
The lady replied, "Yea, cause I've ordered a few times and my food had been eaten on or wasn't all there, so I know you right about that too".
Then when that happens the apps either want to give you credit, a refund that will purposely take longer than it should. However, the point herr is now you are an unpaid employee having to negotiate with someone appearing to be an employer avout why the rules they have in place should apply to them at all times and not just when its convenient.
If more people would stop giving into convenience we could damage these corrupt institutions. One person and one idea cant change anything. At one point as a society do we say enough is enough. Im not advocating for violence against ANYONE for any reason, even if they truly deserve it. Im trying to find like-minded people I cam talk to about ideas and exchange thoughts.
Im not a person who wants to "win" in argument. I dont care if I'm wrong if it means so.eone can correct me and show me why im wrong. I will change my entire viewpoint when presented with a perspective I may have not been able to see from or if I was subverted with purposeful misinformation. In the end, If in wrong then im still happy about it. Because then, now I can stop appearing foolish and k ow the truth. Something I find too damaging to most egos these days.
I would love it if anyone would engage, even if its to tell me im stupid and an idiot. I wouldn't mind discussing why you think that if you'll allow me to explain th reasoning, the why, and how it came to be my thought about it.
