      The “fake” self employed is a reference to lyft/Uber/any other app that a big company runs and chooses what jobs you can get, and your pay etc. Making the “self employed” take all the risk.

        When I worked for a phone manufacturer I’d so frequently get the Uber drivers who refer to it as their work phone, conplain that their work phone isn’t working, etc. but always carefully avoid saying that their work is Uber driving. I’d kinda play a game of seeing how long they keep the charade up until they finally say that it’s Uber driving
