I imagine it was also good for your mental state of well-being. You didn't have to sign up for a handout or even get a "goodwill" job like a greeter or something at a big box store.
Uber and Airbnb didn't have to take a loss to employ you. You got paid because you provided value to people willing to pay for it, just like the rest of us.
That's not to say we don't need social safety nets, or that it'd work for any disability (obviously). But there is something to be said when it becomes outlawed "for your own good."
- rideontime 6y ago> Uber and Airbnb didn't have to take a loss to employ you. Oh really? Has Uber turned a profit yet?
- Jommi 6y agoYes. Their ridehailing unit makes profit every quarter.
- moduspol 6y agoPutting aside that clearly my point was that no special treatment was given to him as a result of his disability: Just because the business as a whole is not turning a profit does not mean the business loses money with each and every action it takes.
- wavepruner 6y agoVery true. Social safety nets only work for people who are believed to be oppressed. So what happens is the oppressed groups just end up being the people no one believes are actually suffering.
