Your assumption that Uber/Lyft is the only choice (i.e. hardly a choice) is not true. There tons of other jobs you can do beside Uber/Lyft.

Have you seen the unemployment rate lately? We are in one of the worst recessions in living memory. It's not like those Uber drivers can just quit and go work somewhere else.
