    But that IS the jobs going away. You converted a full time job into an occasional time job. Say you were make $15/hr 40hrs/week. That’s $600/week. Now they convert your full time job into a gig job and you’re making $20/hr, but you only work 10 hours per week. You’re now making $200/week. You now need to try and make up that $400/week shortfall in your income. Good thing you got that massive pay increase though, right?

      Not ‘part-time’ work , gig work. Ubereats, Deliveroo etc. A lot of these guys are working full time. Maybe you weren’t paying attention to those guys you said couldn’t argue with you.
