These "gig" and "service" companies are simply re-defining minimum wage and taking advantage of a segment of the populace that cant get minimum wage jobs for one reason or another. But yea, dont want 1.45 an hour then find another job. Dont want to be broke AF then dont have 3 kids. How can anyone take the examples in this article even remotely serious.

Life is pretty uncertain and dynamic, it's entirely possible to be a parent w/well paying job, until you don't have it anymore. Victim blaming is BS.
