Didn't we already go through this line of reasoning during the industrial revolution? Didn't we already have our muckraking moments to show exactly why this line of reasoning is full of assumptions, totally devoid and dissociated from the actual reality of people's lives?

- TeaDrunk 6y agoYou literally just linked a craigslist job listing to show indeed that uber is just a choice and they can take great jobs elsewhere.

- logicchains 6y agoBefore that, children (and their families) were doing backbreaking labour on farms. At least the factories paid better.
- chillwaves 6y agoYes, and they were also being exploited under feudal lords. I would hope we can make some kind of progress as a society beyond fuedal times.
