> I follow your logic and see your point...but it still seems like a stretch to label this as coercion. Where do you draw the line? Do you mean for Uber and Lyft, or for 19th-century factory workers? I absolutely think the 19th century factory workers had it better than the 19th century plantation slaves. Exactly where we draw the line for "coercion" matters less to me than the recognition that such a lifestyle still wasn't "voluntary": they were forced into doing something nobody should be forced to do. I don't really know whether Uber or Lyft reach the level of coercion at the moment; but unless there's something to prevent it, the same thing will happen eventually. > You can always try to argue that the lowest income earners deserve more. Who is to judge their life is too deep in "survival mode?" I like John Rawl's "Veil of Ignorance": https://fs.blog/2017/10/veil-ignorance/ https://fs.blog/2017/10/veil-ignorance/
