Doesn't this PR work underline the darker side of TaskRabbit, or at least clearly demonstrate that TakRabbit is leveraging income disparity to profit? That is, some people either want or need money enough that they are willing pull a 90 hour shift so someone else with spare money can get an expensive phone arbitrarily early.

- rhizome 14y agoThe entire concept of employment hinges on one person giving another money. Just because you can call it something scary-academic like "leveraging income disparity," doesn't change the facts and doesn't make it wrong. Where then is the darkness?
