The whole gig industry is shady as shit, from Uber to those uninsured delivery drivers, most of them refugees in a vulnerable position (in Europe anyway).

Uber is just a taxi service where the company doesn't have to follow the normal taxi regulations and safety, pays its drivers at a much worse rate, doesn't have to pay anything for servicing vehicles or licensing drivers, and sells your travel data.
And it specifically undercuts existing taxi unions, hollowing out those jobs and the decades of negotiatons that they won, while also increasing cost to users. Meanwhile, I know people who've lost money while working for uber and doordash.
In the US too
might be a proxy for it's late in the night
As opposed to... the time on the clock? Why are economists like this
waow I can't believe the ability to access battery state on Android and iOS was used for malicious purposes!!
This nonsense makes me so mad in places where public transit is bad or not an option. Like, the subway or the city bus never does shit like this. 9 times out of 10, you can figure out your fare before you catch a bus.
There’s a reason that so many cities regulate taxi fares!
low battery=high price
just what i needed!
