> And if there were no such drivers, we'd get no warm pizza at all, how about that?

First of all, the horror, second of all, there used to be a thing known as "going outside", and before that there used to be a thing known as "cooking".



That's part of the problem isn't it? It used to be possible to raise a family on a single wage/salary so that the other partner could cook. Now many people end the workday with so few hours or so much stress that they can't cook.


Yeah, and there used to be "subsistence farming" and "living in the forest" and "making everything out of sticks and stones because we don't know any better".

How far back do you want to go to find the optimal configuration of society? Or does it just coincidentally match the configuration that you personally grew up with?


The difference being that cooking is something people in developed nations still do, more often than eating out/getting delivery.
