3. The only person I know who is a Uber driver

happens to be a rather right-wing asshole. Of course, it's highly possible that every single other Uber driver out there is a flaming liberal, but for reasons I can't articulate, I doubt it.

I think being an Uber driver appeals to people who think they're too good for a lot of "regular" jobs (a description that fits my acquaintance) and who probably think that all the money they make is off the books and doesn't have to be declared.

But does Uber keep records and issue whatever that form is you get when you're a contract worker?
