   look when i first heard "the sharing economy" i thought it meant "a cooperative end to scarcity" so i am extremely disappointed that it just means "worse jobs for worse pay"

      @garbados The thing is that ideally it _can_ do that, all the technology that enables exploitation of Uber and Lyft drivers _could_ instead be used to help people actually just _share_ their rides - log a travel plan before you leave, people along the route register their intent to hop on and where they want to get off, you get some kind of minor compensation.

      There's nothing inherently bad about the idea of being paid to share your car, the problem is that the capitalists go their hands on it
