Exactly. This is why it's immoral to cook your own food for dinner, for instance, instead of going to a restaurant or hiring a personal chef.


Basic logic fail. I didn’t say it was immoral to do it yourself. I said it was good to support the worker (from both the worker and the payers’ perspectives), not bad.

The view I replied to implied it would be gross to pay someone to make your meal because it’s cheap.


Nice sarcasm. My thought as well. Where do you draw the line?


It's really simple: if you want to do something yourself, do it. If you want to pay someone to do it for you, do that. There's many reasons you might choose one route or the other, and they're all valid. Ignore sanctimonious assholes who tell you that you should support workers just because.
