I guess a lot of people are going to have to learn how to cook. Poor babies.

With DoorDash, GrubHub, etc., people don't have to learn to cook. People who can cook from scratch with fresh ingredients will live longer than those who don't and it isn't that hard.

He added: Who will wash dishes? Nobody wants to do that. Only the hard workers, the people who come from Honduras and El Salvador, they happily do that … They want to make money and send [it] to their family.

Huh. My first real job back in high school was washing dishes and busing tables. Course, that was a couple decades ago..

I was at 3.35/hr washing dishes and then cooking at a nice seafood restaurant. As a cook there could be leftover food to be shared. As a dishwasher (and part time bar back) there were half empty carafs of wine coming back to the dishwasher (vulcan then hobart) and if we were extra responsive to the requests of the bartenders they would give us an almost but not quite empty capped whiskey bottle in a designated trash can.
