All these gig type jobs concern me as it is a sign there is a large pool of cheap labor that can support these businesses. I never thought I would see the day in a developed country where you can pay a little extra for someone to get your groceries and deliver them to you. But that is the result of de facto open borders and free trade with China.
“I never thought I would see the day in a developed country where you can pay a little extra for someone to get your groceries and deliver them to you.”
That’s exactly the kind of country where I’d expect it to happen.
Grocery delivery as an available service goes back ages. It kind of disappeared in America in the 70s and 80s when we lost the concept of service. But there is definitely nothing new or bad about it.
