California voters showed up in droves to prevent that exact classification change from happening, because your average voter is few IQ points away from needing help tying their shoes, and will absolutely eat up whatever lies Uber et al. will pump out.
- casercaramel144 3y agoGood, this is exactly what we wanted. Service worker classification is straight up wealth transfer from delivery users to drivers since competition is so tight and everyone ie being squeezed. The needs of the many outweigh the entitlement of the few. It's unfair for delivery app users to have to subsidize employment for drivers when its clear there's many willing to accept the current terms.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoGross take. Entitled, self-centered, and a ham-handed attempt to co-opt the term "wealth transfer". If you really have this little regard for folks who actually work for a living you should get in your car and go get your own shit.
- casercaramel144 3y agoExcept everyone else also works for a living? Wealth transfer is a great descriptor of what that type of policy making leads to since it is in fact exactly taking money from delivery app users and giving to delivery app drivers. Do you disagree with this dynamic? If so where do you think the money for paying these drivers extra comes from? The amount of people using food delivery apps is some 2.31 billion worldwide. Are you suggesting that some 1/3 of the human population who would prefer to pay less for their food delivery all don't work for a living?
