"You have to work close to 50 hours a week to survive," is the money quote folks, and the point when you should just tune out the hack who said it.
Being able to just work a job like this and only spend 10 hours a day, Monday to Friday, and survive is a testament to the success of the business model. It is not a negative.
So a job that requires you to have absolutely no education whatsoever, just a clean drivers license, insurance, and a pleasant personality, will allow you to survive in a First World country like the US or Canada?
Complaining about ride-sharers being able to make a living off this is the very epitome of 'First World problems.'
