On the one hand my first impulse is to ask “What’s the supply-side version of caveat emptor?” but if companies like Uber are hiding the true pay of their IRS-1099 “gig workers” then I have to wonder if they aren’t running afoul of disclosure or fair labor laws as well.
- dredmorbius 8y agoWhat’s the supple-side version of caveat emptor? How do you mean? "Employer beware" would be cave dico. Provider beware, provisor cave. Though it's not clear what dynamic you're pointing to.
- wh313 8y agoActually employer beware would be "cave conductor". Dico means "I say". Provisor comes from the verb vidi, and means "one who sees ahead," but I suppose you can use "patronus" instead to mean provider. So provider beware should be "cave patrone".

- dredmorbius 8y agoGranted my Latin's weak. I was more interested in meaning than the linguistics lesson.
