Nobody is spending 25K per year on uber eats pizza.

So yea, it's out there.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/185335/median-hourly-earnings-of-wage-and-salary-workers/

according to this the median hourly wage is $20 in 2024, so it would take the median worker 1.25 hours to afford this overpriced pizza

if he picked it up instead of relying on delivery he could get it for $10, which is 30 minutes work

average worker does 8.4 hours of work per day

i think this all might be a bit hyperbolic 😅

the average working isn't ordering doordash everyday.

it's the person making 100K+ a year working 60 hours+ a week

1 person can make dozens of pizzas per hour, the ingredients are cheap. Its extremely abnormal for basic prepared food to be considered a luxury.

they are.

i had several exes who spend $1000 a month on delivery food. and that was 10 years ago. today that would be easily 2-3K a month for the same volume of food.

and if you confront them about it, they tell you to fuck yourself, if you really cared you'd just pay the bill for them and help them, instead of 'attacking and criticizing' them by pointing out if you make 2-3K a month, spending most of your income on food isn't really a smart move.

Are you ordering 3 pizzas every day?

How much detached from reality is this guy. Is he a CEO or something?
