This is why, instead of essentially promoting the next wave of "too-big-to-fail" monopolies, we should be trying to franchise things like this.

I had the idea a while back when someone I knew was getting the run around by Uber.

If someone developed a platform that catered to franchisees instead of end-users (and contractors) it would be easier for everyone. Easier to price the service, easier to pay the workers, easier to negotiate, easier to run the business in a smaller scale.

So instead of Uber or DoorDash having 2,000,000 contractors, they have 10,000 franchises with each one maintaining it's own affairs. Everybody wins!
