Happy thoughts to think when you’re filled with existential dread

A small group of riders rolls away from the camera down a one-lane dirt road in a forest. The road is sandy-white, and lined on the sides with red-brown leaf litter from the coniferous trees that tower over it. The road curves and rises slightly into the distance, broken sunlight filtered through the trees.

What I learned from a day as a food delivery rider

It bears repeating: gig workers often make less than minimum wage, and it's even worse once you start calculating the depreciation of the transport you're using to do it. That's the real innovation behind Uber and Doordash et al - not a fancy app, but some regulatory arbitrage that lets them get away with paying workers less.
