gig economy, capitalism, covid
Dara Khosrowshahi, the CEO of Uber, just sent letters to all state governors and the CDC asking for their couriers to be counted as "essential personnel" for the purposes of vaccine distribution
This is the same company whose personal safety efforts amounted to giving couriers one package of disposable masks and a bottle of hand sanitizer, one time, on request
They're happy asking for other people to spend the effort, as long as it doesn't take anything but an email from the CEO
It hardly needs to be said, but gig economy companies do not care about you
