Bobbing for dollars
We’ve been disrupted, given the promise of a job where you don’t have to lie, don’t have to play sick, but you can never ever quit. You just drive. Instead of watching the numbers swirl down the drain, you get to watch 'em tick up, just a little. Maybe a lot if you get a tipper. Night time tales from the gig economy. Includes "The Italian Job on Sunset Boulevard."
