I am and you apparently aren’t aware of just how these companies operate. You also clearly didn’t read everything I wrote (or didn’t comprehend it).

And if you look closer at the verbiage and the way they are known to operate, you are highly likely to be “on the clock” for 50 but only paid for 40. Then deduct standard taxes from that and you end up with way less than if you had been smart about things and they paid fairly per mile, etc.
Considering how clueless the lawmakers are here in the states about this stuff (despite best of intentions), I wouldn’t expect this arrangement to be any better than being free to cherry pick the best offers, best times to work, etc. The beauty of being IC is being able to say fuck that, not doing that one. What I fear about this is that the gig workers will have to accept bullshit offers to keep their metrics in the right zone so they don’t get “fired”.
It’s a start but even if you are guaranteed that amount per hour worked you can still end up making way less after operating expenses unless they are also pushing the companies to reimburse for mileage on top of a min hourly. I drive for a living, uber, etc and I run my own service. When you are self employed in most industries, hourly is actually counter productive to profitability and success.
I would absolutely NOT work this kind of job for as little as $20/hour even if that included mileage reimbursement. If you track your earnings hourly then most days you will have an hour or two where you make like $10/hour or less and then it goes nuts and you clear $100 or more in an hour or two or less sometimes. One of the benefits of being self employed is the various tax benefits depending on the country you live/work in. I’m in the USA where I can deduct 64.5c/mile iirc but if I was getting reimbursed I may not be able to take that deduction which would mean I earn less after taxes. Not to mention the control these companies have over drivers when they are considered employees versus independent.
Why didn’t they think your penis was real?
And why are they eating the lids?
I use resilio sync across my work and personal phones and I use it to backup my phones to my nas. No need to turn it on/off, it’s accessible only via secret key or shared link and it’s encrypted.
I know sync isn’t foss but it’s the best one I’ve found over the years and it just works.
Or just call everyone dude.
This right here. The shitty reviews tell you more about the company, product, etc as well as the reviewer than stellar reviews.
You need to find the right stores/brands to support.
2 examples that my family stand behind and preaches from the mountain tops.
Costco. They as a retailer stand behind all of their products and take virtually everything back with little to zero questions. Pharmacy and optical is worth the price of admission alone. Make sure you have storage for some of the stuff you end up buying but if you are smart about it, it’s worth the run every 4-6+ weeks.
Duluth. Purveyor of fine clothing and unlike carhartt, Duluths stuff actually stands up to being used and abused. If you watch for deals and clearance you can get some damn good clothes at a decent price. Bonus for the female shaped beings out there, Duluth is the only one we have found that has womens clothing with actual pockets, including cargos.
I have dandruff and I use a hairbrush to scrub my scalp with the shampoo. It seems to help but what also helps is swapping between medicated shampoos as eventually they stop working as well.
And hdd/ssd speed. Honestly it’s more about the drive speed than the cpu.
We had a solution to this problem and the banks went and fucked it up and with it our economy.
I’m based in Winston-Salem but I live in the outskirts north of Winston-Salem. I regularly make runs to CLT and RDU and everywhere in between.
I’m in the piedmont triad of NC. I actually live in a small outskirt town and work all over the central part of NC.
I made my own job.
I run my own ride service. I work the apps like uber but I also have a large (and growing) list of private clients that call me for airport runs or to see if I can get them to and from a dinner with friends/colleagues/etc.
Telegram doesn’t use vpns to bypass access restrictions. There have been multiple attempts to block/ban telegram and they inevitably fail because of the way the internet is designed. And as I said. If you have access to the greater internet you can probably access telegram but I am guessing you don’t use it and didn’t use it before the ban so you have no need to try to access it now.
Telegram uses proxies and has a setting in the app to attempt to work around blockages.
If you can reach any sites like this, you could reach telegram if you wanted to badly enough.
I’m not assuming anything. I’m going on the presumption that they will do what they will do and that politicians are going to be similar regardless of country or tax laws, etc.
It’s also clear that as I said, you have no idea how these companies operate. They will find a way to fuck the workers over as much as possible.
As I said and you clearly missed. I’m a so called gig worker except I’m making an actual job out of it. I refuse to do the food deliveries because I can’t see how they make any money after the time and mileage invested. I drive uber, empower and I am building my own service. I’ve also been self employed most of my working life and I know how these companies operate.
If you can prove that Canada is somehow impervious to what they have done everywhere since these companies have existed, I’ll move asap. For example, if I’m not mistaken, California has similar laws on the books and I am fairly certain that uber and lyft include tips in the hourly min. They will probably do similar up your way unless your law makers are some how much smarter and tougher than ours and thought through the possible ways they could work this law.
The above said. I’m done here. I’m tired of talking chess while you assume we were going to play chutes and ladders.
