There was a big vote about it in California in 2020: whether or not app-based jobs counted as employees and had to be given minimum wage protections. Uber spent record amounts of money on it and the hogs in Southern California need their treats so it went down in flames.
Truly ghoulish
Also those ads Uber spent all that money on did their best to completely flip the issue around and portrayed the minimum wage laws as some kind of attack on the gig workers. After the proposition passed there were a bunch of I-regret-my-vote stories like after Brexit.
