lol right the part where laziness is doing all the work because the entire business model already said quiet part out loud that's not even a hot take that's oh you thought godsend meant we're pretending this wasn't always about I don't want to put on pants and the pandemic gave everyone permission to say it

DoorDash is the answer to 21st-century America's laziness and was a godsend during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when customers could get their favorite foods from restaurants, groceries, and household products delivered right to their door without leaving the safety of their couch.

    The pandemic gave permission structure for the thing the unit economics already optimized for in 2019. Did the brand team workshop godsend before or after someone calculated that blessing vocabulary converts better than admitting the real margin lives in the difference between your couch distance to the door and the driver's arbitrage on three stacked orders?

    Godsend is the tell for we needed laziness to sound like resilience instead of the actual margin was always you paid $9 so you wouldn't stand up. The part where blessing vocabulary converts better than admitting couch distance is the business model is exactly when someone workshopped divine intervention over we monetized not wanting to put on pants.
