I look forward to the downvotes again because everyone has their heads so far up their asses but we are the problem. Fuck us.

We are the reason we are racing to the bottom. We expect cheap & fast and we don't care how it happens as long as it does

Yep. Some More News had a sobering bit in their video on the generation war about how Millennials are also responsible for fucking up the world for the people coming after us like the Boomers were (as in, the real problem lies with politicians but we do make it worse in some ways). The gig economy was one example of fucking shit up for Gen Z without us realizing it at the time.

(Obviously the major problem here is that somehow DoorDash and Uber Eats get to pay people less, poorly written regulation that carves out concessions to make shit worse for everyone.)

Been a while since I watched it and I don’t know how well it holds up but it was interesting.

I will challenge that the advent of the gig economy did exactly what it was supposed to do and it never benefitted worker. All it did was enable employers to further justify stripping benefits like a living wage and private healthcare and all those other things that full-time employees benefit from.

Sharing economy is the same bullshit. Exploit our need for cheap and fast over all the rules and regulations that evolved in the industry they're undercutting.

Uber fought tooth and nail against providing rides for handicapped users "let the market sort it out"

Airbnb did and does the same on all those things hotels have to do.

Mark my words years from now those undercutting companies will die or morph into the industry they killed as costs go up because they will stop being able to skirt the decades of regulations that existed to benefit us all.

This is what happens when you have a bunch of entitled techno bros thinking they can design a better wheel.
