Gotta love that new normal, where faceless corporations hire you through an app and their PR team chock full of cat-ladies can fire you with the press of a button for whatever non-reason they feel like.

How did people get back to effectively being serfs again?

If the Venn diagram can so easily include Uber drivers AND serfs, then you may as well throw in 99.9999999% of all people in human history, too.

Fact is, 99.99999% of people in history actually were serfs more-or-less.

Of course many men driver Uber and there is a good reason for them to do this given the job market out there and the versatility of the job, but seriously we should not praise another globo-homo business model that gives more to the 0,01% while taking away from the 99,9%.

Corporate culture aside, the ride share model is more efficient. Just like snail mail gave way to email, the age of taxis is coming to an end eventually. Sure there will still be instances where taxis serve a niche purpose.

I for one cant criticize someone for succeeding raising themselves by their bootstraps from the 99% to the 1% via the free markets. That desire, the entrepreneurial spirit, built modern civilization
