I wasn't talking about people needing to work more than 40 hours. I agree, exceeding that shouldn't become normal. I'm talking about the people who have to take care of their kid, so they can't work the usual 9 to 5. They got 28 hours from target, but they do need some more money, so they do UberEats at night. I'm talking about the student who really can't work in the day because they have to study and attend classes. Hell, sometimes they can't even work at night due to their group project and their team members slacking off. Well, now they can just Uber when they have time instead of committing to a schedule at the local Subway.

I get that, but we should also have parental leave that is at least a year. Full time students should be studdying hard and have no time to work. Of course, that is not how it works in the US in the short term, and the gig economy is good in this regard comparison to the terrible last-minute scheduling on-prem unskilled labor has turned too. Just saying we gotta keep our eyes on the prize long term. Even if you, dear reader, are a well-paid programmer or whatever, remember the powers that be only automate things with the proles don't show up to work, so your interests are aligned.
