You also have to consider jobs that will exist which don’t exist now. For example, driving for Uber wasn’t a thing until recently.

- ethbro 9y agoDriving a taxi was, since pre-1635.
- andrenth 9y agoAre you serious? Do you not see the difference between driving for uber and driving a taxi? Let’s start with state-imposed bureaucracy and artificial limitation on supply.
- ethbro 9y agoYes, and no. For definitions relevant to the comment I was replying to, none of your points make Uber a new type of labor.
- andrenth 9y agoMy reply was about you equating uber and taxis. It may not be a new “type” of labor in the sense that driving jobs already existed, but what kind of refutation is that? Uber (and other similar companies) created new job opportunities, which is undeniable simply because a few years ago these companies didn’t exist.
