  > People who have no idea or experience of others but want to That's the basis of society, people who have a better overall views of things decide for you all the time, and it should be like that. What's the opposite ? Private for profit companies deciding what's better for "you" ? That's what Uber and Amazon are trying to do and that's why they lose dozens of court cases about workers rights all over the world. I don't even get your point, "it's not as bad as X", ok but what's the goal ? Raise the bar so that everyone has access to safe, sustainable jobs or lower the bar to the lowest acceptable working conditions ?

    The issue is that people making these laws do not have a better overall view of things. When you go against the majority because you personally think something without experience or evidence, that's a major problem. When did I make the point that "it's not as bad as X"? Both full-time driving jobs and freelance ride-sharing exist. Drivers can already choose what works for them, and many choose ride-sharing for the flexibility it offers and because it's what works in addition to their prior commitments. Why do you want to take away that opportunity or think that people are incapable of making that choice for themselves?
