If drivers preferred full time employment over flexibility, wouldn't they have joined a traditional taxi/limo service instead of Uber or Lyft?

These are V-notch canals, made of cement and carry fast moving water. Not many creatures will try swimming or drinking in it. There are smaller mud canals that carry water from these to the field. Insects, birds, and animals can be found there.

"Millennials are the most informed..."
Millennials have least overlap with a living example of Communism. A turning point in Orwell's life came when he visited USSR. There's no USSR for a millennial to visit and validate his/her theories, College campus politics doesn't challenge them enough.

Democratic mechanisms to address these issues already exist, and they are in the hands of each State's legislature.
If you hold the Federal Government responsible, then you want to put this power in the hands of Federal Legislature. Are you ready to forsake the federal structure of US Government?

Generic in terms of your taste or generic in the larger population? IMO the whole reason to have human helpers is to avoid both, while algos can do both kinds of generic well.

In this case it was a direct call for violence which is already spreading in this context.
Three lines from the play were highlighted.
>“The government is telling Muslims to leave India and go away.” In reply, the other child says, “Amma, Modi is saying show documents of your father and grandfather otherwise he is telling us to leave the country.” At this point, another child is heard saying, “Hit them with slippers if anybody asks for documents.”
The last one is directed at survey workers who have been (mis)targeted recently.

>Following instances of workers, engaged to conduct Poshan Abhiyan survey, facing hostile behaviour, the state government had issued an ad explaining that the survey had nothing to do with Census and NPR.

>In Kota, the woman attacked was a surveyor from the National Economic Census department collecting data for the National Economics Census 2019- 2020 in Brijdham area. Nazeeran Bano was let off only after she was able to convince the crowd that she, too, was a Muslim, like them. The police later arrested one person for the attack.

>The house of a 20-year-old woman was set on fire by a mob in West Bengal's Birbhum district on Wednesday, following rumours that she was collecting data for the proposed nationwide NRC.
>Chumki Khatun and her family are now under police protection after the incident happened in Gourbazar village in Mallarpur police station area, officials said.
I don't support sedition charges, but there should be a penalty for (1) promoting (even petty) violence against government workers and (2) getting your children to express this promotion.

Unnecessarily political comment. That too when the Angel Tax, started by the previous government in 2012 (to curb money laundering) (source: https://m.economictimes.com/news/economy/finance/et-in-the-c...), and was ended by this government in 2019 (source: https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/23/india-angel-tax/).

That one sentence is sufficient to disprove the Vanity Fair article.
That's literally how bad that article was.

Reminds me of the time terrorists were shooting up Mumbai. A "brave" TV news channel gave live coverage. Intelligence agencies found out that the live coverage was being used by handlers to give specific instructions to the attackers.

Paywalled in India. Text/tldr?
Does the article cover urban and rural areas of Kashmir, Jammu, Ladakh?
