And sure, homelessness, hunger, and low/no medical is a "choice", its not a choice we make lightly.
So worse is better than homeless. And people are stratified out of even the working class.
But they don't come with the freedom that gig jobs do which is their primary appeal.
And if the laws were actually enforced, most of it is blatantly illegal.
Illegal online taxi.
Illegal online food delivery.
Illegal residential hotel chain.
Many people who do this do so because they don't have other choices. And much of it is also illegal for the people "working", cause commercial driving requires commercial license.

No, this predated "app companies". Taxi drivers were self-employed, only got paid if they got fares, and on top had to pay for the privilege of driving (medallion system). That's just as bad as working for Uber, if not worse (since you don't have to pay to work for Uber).
