It's not fking awesome. Most people should not be entrepreneurs. They don't have the correct risk profile. We're turning every job into a casual arrangement, and because there is a tech based intermediary we cheer it on. How many of us want to actually build a career, raise a family, or retire on the backs of a half dozen hustles?

"Uber driver" is just another term for unemployed.

You know, getting paid on commission is nothing new or invented by techies. Do you think cab drivers had steady salaries before Uber came about? No, they earned depending on the rides they made. And in places like NYC, they actually start the day underwater, after paying $100+ to lease a medallion for just one shift.
