short by Ashley Paul / on Friday, 2 January, 2026
Billionaire Deepinder Goyal claimed gig economy's problem is that it brought prevailing class divide to light by ensuring workers are seen by the consuming class. "Suddenly, poor aren't hidden away...Now, every doorbell is a reminder of systemic inequality," he said. "We aren't just debating economics, we're confronting guilt...We tip awkwardly...because inequality is no longer abstract," he said.
