How can we determine whether a society is truly powerful and convenient? We can look at whether we can quickly order takeout or call for a designated driver at midnight. If someone accepts an order within five minutes, does it indicate that the social division of labor is fine-tuned and operations are efficient? Not necessarily. This is merely the result of supply and demand: if you have money, you can instantly mobilize a stranger's labor time. However, behind this convenience lies a group of people who, with no other choice, sell their late-night time and remaining energy. Chinese people often boast to foreigners about the convenience of mobile payments, 24-hour convenience stores, and takeout, believing this reflects material abundance. The late-night hustle of delivery workers is also packaged as an inspirational story. However, from an economic perspective, this is merely a situation where some are willing to sacrifice sleep for income. True social progress is not about people being willing to deliver food late at night, but rather that no one needs to rely on late-night food delivery for a living. Taking Germany as an example, supermarkets close after 8 PM, and shopping malls collectively shut on Sundays; French restaurants strictly differentiate between lunch and dinner services, making it difficult to dine in the afternoon. These countries prioritize ensuring workers have rest rather than consumer convenience. The prosperity of late-night takeout reflects that survival needs outweigh rest needs. Only through the lens of economics can we see the hidden costs and distribution logic behind this convenience.
