In today’s society, laziness and lack of ethics have led to questionable practices that endanger the well-being of many individuals. The fraudulent use of other people's accounts to avoid paying the minimum wage to illegal food delivery workers is just one example of how bad actions can negatively impact those in a more vulnerable position.
Delivery workers, who seem to move with extreme agility through the city streets, are being exploited for the convenience of others. These workers, anonymous under their covers, become modern slaves of today’s impulsive and demanding society. Their work, seemingly simple, becomes a reflection of the loneliness and inequality prevailing in an increasingly accelerated and dehumanized society.
As fast food delivery apps make it easier and easier to get what you want in a matter of minutes, the precarious conditions many of these delivery workers face are ignored. Large fast-food chains become meeting points for these workers who, in exchange for a few euros, take on a grueling and exploitative workload.
In a world where immediacy and the whirlwind of daily life take precedence over ethics and justice, it is easy to overlook the injustice that is perpetuated with every order made with a simple click. The lack of empathy and indifference towards the working conditions of those who make our speed and convenience possible reveal a dark side of today's society, where exploitation and inequality become the norm.
It is necessary to become aware of the consequences of our actions and decisions in an environment where speed and convenience often go hand in hand with injustice and exploitation. Behind every fast and efficient delivery, there are stories of sacrifice and precariousness that deserve to be made visible and considered in our daily actions.
