  Right underneath this, I saw a post about an Uber driver driving away with someone’s kid. I couldn’t figure out how to screenshot the two posts next to each other

    That’s a horrifying thought. Link to the post?

  I’m going to catfish the kids and pretend I’m Blippi and eventually con them out of tens of dollars.

    Entrepreneur Gretchen Salyer created June Care, the app considered the “Uber of childcare,”

    Mmm, yes. Childcare’s race to the bottom!

      Childcare was largely shut down due to the pandemic and struggled to bounce back. This is a company that started to address some of the lack of access. I agree that quality affordable child care is strongly lacking in this country, and I see more access such as June Care provides as a good thing.

      Or is this just a Lemmy contrarian thing again, where I’ll get downvoted and receive snarky comments without any actual discussion

    I posted this because I’ve read many horror stories about using gig-work apps.

    One example is someone in the SF Bay Area that used an to find a verified dog sitter while traveling. All seemed fine until the dog was returned. It was a DIFFERENT dog.

    Another example is apps like UBER/LYFT to get a ride. I now hear ads on the radio from lawyers looking to represent those that have been harassed, molested, or raped.

    I would trust my child with any
