My take is that this guy did business with Best Buy, not Door Dash. I would never do business with Door Dash and I’m never doing business with Best Buy after hearing this story. It’s up to Best Buy to wrangle their contractors, not OP. I’d also just do the chargeback tbh. The credit card company always sides with their customers unless it’s obviously a scam, and if there’s video evidence, the credit card company has no problem taking their money back from Best Buy. They have no reason to choose Best Buy because they have no other option if they want to keep accepting credit cards. OP has dozens of credit card and banking services to choose from instead.

Haha, I understand now!

You don’t even need a car. You can just walk. You also don’t really need a grocery store, you can just grow your own food.

Modern society hasn’t been about what we “need” for hundreds or thousands of years.

“Not wanting to go out” anymore is the most pessimistic way to view it. There’s just better, more fulfilling things to do other than the things other people have suggested that we should be doing with our time and money.

Right? Just take the win and move on!

Found the kid that didn’t grow up right ^^^^

Of course it works out if you throw any numbers in that you want. Minimum hourly wage in the US is 7.25-ish in Alabama and the rest of the decrepit South, to 16-ish in California. I googled minimum wage in China and its roughly 3.40-ish at its highest. At the worst, China is half as expensive, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the disparity between the actual industrial areas of China and Califonia/Colorado for example might be 8x.

Whats happening here is that the poorly educated South is wanting me to subsidize their lack of marketable job skills by making me pay extra for American goods instead of Chinese goods.

And don’t forget that the extra money these Americans earn will be partially consumed by the extra cost of living anyways. Not to mention the years or decades of investment it will take to get factories set here anyways, all for low-skill, physically demanding, and mentally unengaging employment.

Manufacturing should be automated anyways because nobody should have to sit at a conveyor belt all day and toil their lives away assembling dumb trinkets.

But they’re not going to increase wages to account for us having to spend 55 dollars on something that used to cost 5. So the end result is just that people end up with less overall. I’m cool with limiting consumerism, but this isn’t the way to do it imo. And it’s not going to make us “richer” as a nation.

And we haven’t even addressed the whole reason manufacturing left in the first place. It’s so much cheaper to do it overseas, even accounting for shipping. It will cost America much more to produce items internally–and who is going to buy these extra-expensive items? America is a service economy and most people are working at Walmart or McDonald’s. These people can barely afford the cheap Chinese version, much less the expensive American version.

So I guess they’re hoping wages will increase more than the extra expensive incurred by making our own items? Not going to happen, not in a million years.

Mario Brothers strikes again

Yeah exactly. There’s zero chance that artist bought a new Tesla just to wreck it lol

From Texas. They’re not going to attract the best and brightest down there.

Then I guess you could just sit back and see what happens lol

What we need right now is for people to do anything at all, like this guy. I want to see you get arrested for what you believe in

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a rush toward re-nuclearization after these last couple years.

What are the odds Ukraine would be invaded by Russia if they had nukes?

Would Trump be joking about making Canada a 51st state if they had nukes?

Trump and the rest of the American government is showing NATO and every other country that we’re one election away from abandoning our promises to our allies. Nobody can be trusted.

Any country would be a fool to consider giving up their nukes after seeing the shitshow.

Right? Reap what you sow lol

Bruh, Trump is going to make them send the terrorists after us again. Make it stop lol

Yeah, there’s already thousands of wells literally sitting idle because prices are too low. They drill them when they can get a good deal with the drilling company, and let 'em sit idle until the economics make sense, or until the infrastructure has been developed better in the area.

This is the way. I wish more people would accept what is quite literally only minor inconvenience in the name of starving these insane companies. We honestly have it so good in most of modern society, and some things are just totally optional imo.

Thanks
