In New ‘Simpsons’ Episode, Marge Becomes the Face of a Ghost Kitchen Union | Eater

"Presented as a ghost kitchen and delivery app, this workplace is depicted as operating under frantic, unsafe conditions where a new hire takes the job to pay an unexpected medical bill for someone else’s “emotional‑support chicken.” Workers are paid minimum wage, denied overtime, and pushed into hazardous, high‑pressure shifts while a billionaire founder (Finn Bon Idee) brags that he earned his fortune by outworking everyone — a stance that spurs the protagonist to organize a union. The portrayal critiques the gig economy’s tendency to classify labor as “contractor” work, hide the people who make food behind screens, and enable tech‑driven owners to extract profits while evading accountability; it also ties into real‑world debates around Prop 22, unionizing, and solidarity among service workers." - Jaya Saxena
