    “choose” as in they all had a choice between a dependable job with benefits and a gig is a bit of an leap. Sure it’s the case for some but most certainly not all.

      I’d love to see your citation that most Uber drivers are somehow forced into it, somehow, as their only employment option.

      Also I’d love to hear your reasoning how, for these same people who can’t work other jobs, they’re better off without a means to earn money.
