Uber and Lyft purport themselves to be "ride sharing" and "supplemental income", but that isn't what they are. They're underregulated taxi companies who's employees need to work nearly full time to meet ends meet.

These companies know what they're doing. Their words, like the words of so many corporations in America, are lies and deceit. Their image is a facade meant to deceive.

They very clearly are just that.

Which is exactly why they're supplemental income and not full-time jobs.

Uber and Lyft tell you exactly what you're going to make before you start driving for them. If you willingly work full-time hours for them, that's your problem, not theirs.
