“ If the US had full employment and decent unemployment benefits (like it used to) jobs like these wouldn’t exist.”
I think that’s the “utopia” gp is referring to.
All this will do is force people to spend time and money forming corporations so that the uber corporation (for example) can contract directly with another corporation (most likely a one-employee s-corp) which will “employ” the driver. Same economic effect, but just with extra friction and cost for people who in general don’t have a lot of money to spare

- ghufran_syed 4y agoyes, but the “employee rights” will be between the driver and the driver’s own corporation - how does that help the driver if there isn’t enough money coming from the contracting company (eg Uber) to pay for those benefits?
