Digital Exploitation, Pure & Simple

💰 Paid $27 for a ride less than a mile via Uber, with the driver receiving only $6. Non-surge fares for similar distances are around $4. The gig economy platforms benefit from surge pricing, often leaving drivers with a small fraction. California challenges these platforms due to unfair practices.
