Common sense and case law both say you’re wrong.

If you're unsure...

Lidded is way better than open, but I wouldn’t trust that lid to stay in place in even a minor collision.

interesting. that’s another tid but i didn’t know about ride hailing: not knowing the cost of the fare.

Dude. It’s “per se.”

Uber paid its top five executives $143 million in total compensation last year.

You say it should have been a part time gig – according to whom? What did the companies actually DO (not say) to make it so? Absolutely nothing. They say this in their PR speak, but their entire business model is built on volume and their valuation is built on growth.

They’re subsidizing rides, that’s how. Riders don’t realize (or care) that - while traditional taxi cabs are definitely charging a lot for fares - what they should be paying is still far less than what Uber and Lyft end up charging them.

But that contractor is making sure that his price includes coverage for medical insurance, expenses, tools, etc. Uber isn’t doing that and they aren’t allowing their “contractors” to dictate pricing to cover those things, like a contractor normally wold. 

$20 bucks for 3 hours is less than minimum wage.  That doesn’t sound great at all.

If you hire him to build a deck on different peoples’ houses every day of the year, he’s your employee.

When I am hiring independent contractors, one thing stands out: Independent contractors can set their own price, and they aren’t required to bid on every job we open.

No one is forced to work anywhere, but there are regulations controlling everywhere else anyway. 

If we’re going to compare it to the WRX, Mazda spent a lot more time and money on the interior than Subaru did the WRX. It definitely shows.
