.@StevenHill1776 on @BrianLehrer sez @Uber is firing drivers for turning down unprofitable gridlocked short rides. Congestion charge better.

@BrianLehrer I am an Airbnb host and Tasker in Brooklyn and have a "real" part time job. Not ideal, but my rent is too damn high!

@BrianLehrer Fantastic discussion about ‘gig’ economy; Tech companies not supporting employees. Many pitfalls that most do not consider.
