The fleet manager stuff shows how this is little but a Silicon Valley scam.
Offload all the risks to others so you can show tremendous growth and exit at high valuations leaving the entire mess to be picked up by others, yet again.
There are bike share systems across the world doing very well. Growing steadily as per demand and run by a single company. They don’t need “private contractors” to cook up their books.
It’s just a completely awful state of affairs today where creating a new company basically means using technology to offload risk and costs onto “gig workers”.
There are real and genuine businesses that can be built. But no one wants to build a business. They want to build the next Uber ie, find ways around laws and worker protections to pad their pockets while pretending they are entrepreneurs.
