Takeout (not every meal) .. OK, but a maid is a kind of servant and I can't be comfortable with this, it feels like a regression in society (as mentioned in another comment).


Aren't you (if not you, surely someone you know) a servant to your boss?

Having a "maid", although I don't particularly like the term, doesn't equate exploiting other human beings, that's slavery.


What an absurd statement. Daily, you consume the labor of dozens of people.


It's not absurd just because it is the statu quo.


Its not absurd because its the status quo, its absurd because you relay on other peoples laber all the time. The only difference is that the person is in your house, rather then some other place. Why would the location matter ethically?
