I’m not assuming anything. I’m going on the presumption that they will do what they will do and that politicians are going to be similar regardless of country or tax laws, etc.

It’s also clear that as I said, you have no idea how these companies operate. They will find a way to fuck the workers over as much as possible.

As I said and you clearly missed. I’m a so called gig worker except I’m making an actual job out of it. I refuse to do the food deliveries because I can’t see how they make any money after the time and mileage invested. I drive uber, empower and I am building my own service. I’ve also been self employed most of my working life and I know how these companies operate.

If you can prove that Canada is somehow impervious to what they have done everywhere since these companies have existed, I’ll move asap. For example, if I’m not mistaken, California has similar laws on the books and I am fairly certain that uber and lyft include tips in the hourly min. They will probably do similar up your way unless your law makers are some how much smarter and tougher than ours and thought through the possible ways they could work this law.

The above said. I’m done here. I’m tired of talking chess while you assume we were going to play chutes and ladders.

I am and you apparently aren’t aware of just how these companies operate. You also clearly didn’t read everything I wrote (or didn’t comprehend it).

And if you look closer at the verbiage and the way they are known to operate, you are highly likely to be “on the clock” for 50 but only paid for 40. Then deduct standard taxes from that and you end up with way less than if you had been smart about things and they paid fairly per mile, etc.

Considering how clueless the lawmakers are here in the states about this stuff (despite best of intentions), I wouldn’t expect this arrangement to be any better than being free to cherry pick the best offers, best times to work, etc. The beauty of being IC is being able to say fuck that, not doing that one. What I fear about this is that the gig workers will have to accept bullshit offers to keep their metrics in the right zone so they don’t get “fired”.

It’s a start but even if you are guaranteed that amount per hour worked you can still end up making way less after operating expenses unless they are also pushing the companies to reimburse for mileage on top of a min hourly. I drive for a living, uber, etc and I run my own service. When you are self employed in most industries, hourly is actually counter productive to profitability and success.

I would absolutely NOT work this kind of job for as little as $20/hour even if that included mileage reimbursement. If you track your earnings hourly then most days you will have an hour or two where you make like $10/hour or less and then it goes nuts and you clear $100 or more in an hour or two or less sometimes. One of the benefits of being self employed is the various tax benefits depending on the country you live/work in. I’m in the USA where I can deduct 64.5c/mile iirc but if I was getting reimbursed I may not be able to take that deduction which would mean I earn less after taxes. Not to mention the control these companies have over drivers when they are considered employees versus independent.

I don’t know what circles you grew up in but in my entire life I’ve met only a handful of teenagers who not only know what the fuck is actually going on but care enough to do something about it. I interact regularly with college students at a fairly respected and prestigious University and most of them have no fucking idea what is going on in the world or what needs to happen to make changes, how complicated things actually are, etc.

One main reason why under 18 shouldn’t vote is the concern that the adults around them will bully them into voting against their own beliefs and interests regardless of which side anyone may be on.

I skimmed your history here and you sound like a kid who is feeling too big for their britches.

And why are they eating the lids?

And this is how you say you don’t know about electricity without saying it. That 15amp will get throttled by the charger and or the car by about 15-20% from the get.

Not to mention that in addition to the above. Not only is the cost difference negligible between amperages, having a much higher rated plug in the garage or in my case on the side of the house will come in handy for most people at some point. I went for the highest I could get in the timeframe and cost parameters I was working with. I’d actually love to get higher but I don’t know how much more I can get without having another line from my power company and going with DC which would be awesome but isn’t worth the cost and the hassle (at the moment).

This right here. I drive for a living and my new (to me) ev gets just over 300 miles range in the city, thats more than enough most of the time. My current city has zero fast chargers but the ones I’m likely to get to every so often do so while I haven’t availed myself of the mega fast chargers as of yet, I know they are out there.

I’ve been saying similar along with plenty of others for years now. Most people would be fine with a cheaper ev that gets like 150 miles out of the battery and maybe keep a gas car around or even rent when they take their once or twice a year road trip to visit family.

As for the amperage. I’d suggest getting a bit more than 15a. My 40amp charges at like 30miles/hour give or take until it overheats or the car hits like 80% charge and then it drops to half that. You don’t want to have to make a last minute run further away than usual and find you have nowhere near enough battery to get you there and back.
