The "gig economy" and "independent contract work" like Uber largely exists to take the tax burden off of employers and to gaslight laborers into the mindset that they are actually "entrepeneurs."

Well it also takes the burden of training off of employers, the burden of providing tools off of employers, the burden of unemployment insurance off of employers, and the burden of most labor laws off of employers. It's a great deal!
