Speaking of permanent precarity, in 2020, Uber, Lyft, and other gig companies spent hundreds of millions to get Prop 22 passed in California to destroy labor protections. The Prop also prohibited any amendments from being made to it without a 7/8ths legislative supermajority. Yes, 7/8ths.

Even after more than a decade of Uber, people don’t seem to get that the venture capitalists only subsidize the “disruptive” tech long enough to throw the displaced workers into permanent precarity, then they raise prices after destroying the overall market. Cab driver suicides are the strategy.

With $200 Million, Uber and Lyft Write Their Own Labor Lawwww.wired.com Following a well-funded campaign, California voters approved Proposition 22—allowing gig economy companies to keep treating workers as independent contractors.
