You buy a car. You sign up with a "ride company". You provide their customers with a service. You are working for them. But you are not. The car costs a bundle to maintain. Oops.

The "independent contractor" or "gig worker" scam is just another version of the man keeping the rest of us under his thumb.

Some of these "disruptive" technologies are really just masquerading as cons that exploit people. Uber is great unless you are a driver.

And someday ask me what I think about AirBnB.

"Good government is the solution!"

Fuck you Ronnie.
