We can all agree that no one is forcing anyone to work for these companies… as I see it, the main issues are; 1) how said workers are classified (1099 vs. W-2)

We can all agree that no one is forcing anyone to work for these companies… as I see it, the main issues are; 1) how said workers are classified (1099 vs. W-2) 2) Benefits and lack thereof based on the classification 3) Hidden cost of using your own equipment. 4) Real pay once you factor in 1-3. That said, it’s not any different than say Walmarts of the world - where most of their full time W-2 employees are in public assistance simply because of the pay. Reality, in the capitalism anyhow, is - if you’re working for someone they’re not going to pay you more than what they can get out of you or the next sucker willing to work for less - the question is how much?! And what’s fair.
