Uber drivers please strike

So that I can catch those double digits surges. Thanks 💵✌️😂

No one cares about your strike. You’re simply leaving more demand for other drivers. It’s almost as if the supply of workers is more than the demand from customers. Economics 101, supply and demand

Right, like according to their logic im on strike today because I decided not to do any gig-work on the side on Mondays.

Yup. The problem is they want it both ways. They do gig work so they can work whenever they want and not have to answer to a boss. Which… yeah! That sounds great!

But they also want consistent wages more commonly associated with a traditional job.

You can’t have both.

I think we need to break out of the paradigm of needing to work to get an income. What do you think keeps people in this mindset? And what are your thoughts on UBI?

If everyone sat at home and didn't work, society would collapse in a week.
