I haven't considered this take enough. It's really accelerating too.
Your comment makes me want to look into / help organize a rideshare union, (NLB approved or not). You're right that there's potential there. Like a mass distribution of rideshare agitprop pamphlets is not such an impossible idea. For the few times I do use rideshare, drivers are so often bored as fuck and willing to have real deep and personal discussions. On the other hand as I understand it there are very few rideshare drivers that "identify" with the job, so there's naturally less unity there. Which I suppose yeah, that's what the nature of the precariat has always been, and why the uniting power of the proletariat have historically been the deciding factor in movements.
