I have many issues with Uber as a corporation - their treatment of customers, employees and drivers. But with case law, I have concerns for the precedent this sets.
Ruling drivers as employees risks removing scope for a ridesharing services entirely, and locks ad hoc transportation to the old inefficient taxi system.
With personal vehicles sitting idle, I do think there should be scope left for some platform for drivers to offer services at any price at any time if they feel it is worthwhile. It increases mobility across the spectrum, and allows for better allocation of resources.
I think the bigger issue is why Uber has so much leverage to control the pricing and terms of drivers in the first place, and why there aren’t more alternatives to force them to be competitive.
That network of contractors is a pretty cool idea, I think that’s the kind of network I would like an exception carved out for.
The other commenter made a fair point that its commercial viability is questionable, but as the world changes I’d still want to leave to scope to try.
That tends to happen when the laptop battery is kept at a high temperature for long intervals.
My work laptop security doesn’t play nice with Windows Update, so “update and shut down” actually does “update and restart” and proceeds to incinerate the laptop in my bag until the battery is exhausted.
Took me a while to figure out why my batteries would turn pillow so frequently.
The real folks you gotta be scared of are those with no headphones just out there raw dogging reality

Wells Fargo allegedly fired over a dozen employees for using mouse jigglers.
I wonder if the check in was disciplinary for insufficient realistic mouse movement.
