    ... I mean yeah, this sucks, but the only reason stuff like this is sustainable is because he is doing delivery, which means he has control of his music, temp, and can go at a pace that is comfortable to him, without a manager up his ass.

    I hate doing this shit, but the whole 'grind' culture bothers me because they arent really 'grinding' most of the time. They aren't doing the tough factory jobs on 12 hour shifts, they aren't pulling third shift retail stints. It's really just them getting by on multiple forms of grift and then being ok that they are getting grifted in return. It's bragging about hustling while getting hustled.

        I mean that's fair, but having worked both types of jobs, there is a world of difference between a 12 hour factory grind and a 12 hour delivery grind. Neither of them is fun, but only one of them truly 'grinds' you in a way that is physically unsustainable. I've never met a sustainable 'rise and grind' type person on a 12 or on third shift, though I'm sure they probably exist elsewhere.

        When I say grifting, I mean working for these app companies, none of which post any actual profits.
