One thing the video doesn’t address is that Uber drivers are deemed to be independent contractors and as such are required to pay both employee and employer portions of SS/FICA(assuming they finlike they shroud), don’t get insurance or other benefits, etc.

This was true for me when I was a model, and I had to pay my taxes quarterly. If I’d had a bad quarter, I still had to pay some really egregious taxes based on what the government thought I should be earning. The quarter that Macy’s went bankrupt and stiffed me over 5 figures in pay was the deciding factor in me quitting the business, because the feast or famine was too onerous with regards to paying taxes.

I can see Uber being similar in that there are times where you’re going to make a lot more money-my H and his dad Ubered all over the place during the Superbowl in Houston, and he said the surge pricing was crazy and that the Uber drivers had their hands full. Feast!
