Companies like Uber and Deliveroo have become a full-time job of last resort for many people, even though they may have been intended only as part-time gigs. Isn't it technically society's fault, and not Deliveroo's or Uber's, that no other full-time employment exists?

People working in the gig economy deserve a safety net and also deserve better pay, but you can't solely blame Taskrabbit, Uber or Deliveroo for these issues.
