According to a government report[1] 68% of workers are satisfied working for ride-sharing services. Which admittingly isn't super high, but not awful either. But the most important thing like is the independence it gives. 1] https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... The laws are created by a minority of people who don't always vote in favour of the public. You regulate it like a normal job, and the thing they like about it most will be removed. |

By the way, the report shows in appendix table 7 that only 23% of the sample reported more than 50% income from the gig economy. Don't you find it weird?

And Uber has the interest of the public in mind, right?

Hiring someone as a freelancer to do a regular job (that is, a job where Uber decides fares, conditions and tools for the job and the worker mainly does what it's told) is fraud. And I'm not the one saying this, the courts are saying it in the UK [1] and other countries are following suit.
