But others, including some drivers, say it is exploitation of older people who work as independent contractors, without any benefits, because their age means they have a harder time finding full-time employment.

As an older American who has considered doing this I would like to tell all the nannies and do-gooders out there to mind their own damn business

As another retired American, I agree with you. It is my decision, as to whether I want to be “exploited” or not, and I can always quit if I do not like it. Indeed might consider doing this, it might be kind of fun!

Yeah....I just love it when someone else explains how "exploited" I am.
These "progressive" busy-bodies think I am too dumb or desperate to make these types of decisions on my own.

I user Uber regularly on my travels around the nation.
The best drivers for Uber are over 60 years old IMHO.

Not only are they more interesting than today’s “all about me generation”, they also don’t mind working hard.

Bingo — I am sort of looking forward to being old enough to get Medicare — I am flat out getting reamed on the health insurance premiums now at my “real job”.

Uber or Lyft seems like a pretty cool gig, actually.

Another considering it.
