Plenty of people were driving for Uber and Lyft before the pandemic when unemployment was low and real wages were growing. The notion that people were predominantly driving for Uber and Lyft out of desperation does not hold up to scrutiny.

These drivers aren't slaves. Out if all their work options they chose ride share. Now, their options are likely going to be strictly worse. The "bar" might be low from your perspective, but it was the best option these workers. How do you think their situation is improved by eliminating (or drastically altering by removing the ability of drivers to set their own hours) this option?
