This is like calling Uber "a constellation of small businesses". Arguably worse, because Bird still owned "the means of production" (the scooters). At least with Uber you own the car. Did any of these "small businesses" get to make decisions about hours, pay, pricing, or scooter design? Doesn't seem so. Edit: Reading the parent post again, it's crazy how "anti-freedom" it is. Accepting corporate framing of labor-law violations as fact in one paragraph, then advocating for a surveillance state in the next. Crazy stuff to see on "Hacker" News.
