> The disruption offered by the "sharing economy" is simply a hustle. I would say "an evil" rather than "a hustle." Paying a few programmers six figures to write an app that commands lots of other people to work for less than minimum wage as "independent contractors" is evil. Calling it "sharing" or "tech" doesn't make it smell more sweet. Labor laws may not be perfect, but they have been built from centuries of experience, and sometimes blood[1,2]. It's a shame to see them being successfully ignored by a handful of morally bankrupt programmers.
