Because I’m stuck footing the bill for everything Uber(and by proxy their drivers) are not paying into.

Currently, we all paid for their Covid unemployment benefits that they did not pay into.

We pay for unpaid hospital bills after accidents because they did not pay into workers compensation.

We’ll pay for disability after those accidents that they did not pay into.

Uber and Uber drivers a freeloading off a system we are paying into.

If they want to pretend they are not employees, then they should all have to pay into all these things themselves.
