    Yeah I’m not sure how tech bros actually tricked everyone into working without employment. It’s good to hear that may be changing soon.

      When you are unemployed for a few months, have rent, other bills to pay, and a family to feed, you accept any work that provides an income.

        Yes, and that work should come with all the benefits of employment that workers have fought for through the generations.

      Ads and promise of big salaries. When it started people were making more money so even some people quit their work and started driving for Uber. But the control have shifted.
