Europe is talking a lot about digital sovereignty. But the recent attempt to take over Nexperia shows the US is still calling the shots.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Ben Wray to discuss European subservience on tech and the gig economy.

Listen to the full episode: https://techwontsave.us/episode/306_europes_subservience_to_the_united_states_w_ben_wray

I just finished binging the 2024 UK mini-series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. It's based on true events, and I have so many thoughts!

Screen from door dash after a driver crashes with a customer's order.

"Yiur driver crashed 0.3 away from you. You can still pick up your order, but contents might be damaged."

Underneath there is an option to send flowers to drivers hospital

The public is not keen on dynamic pricing (i.e. for concert tickets), but imagine what its like to have dynamic pricing shape your pay (Uber & Deliveroo drivers already do); its the latest worker-exploiting aspect of the gig economy.

The advantages of expanding the uncertainty of wages for gig economy workers accrue to the 'employer', effectively reducing wages.

The gig economy is a mechanism for impoverishing workers & needs better regulation.
