    AlanaSemuels Retweeted Rescued By A Rescue

    Lots of readers have written that I am a wuss for writing that Amazon Flex was hard. But the reality is, many full-time workers in the tech economy have it pretty good. Independent contractors and part-timers in the same economy do not. It's an important growing dichotomy.https://twitter.com/burlyg8r/status/1011345194908835841 …

        Looking at your last ten articles for the Atlantic, seven of them are anti-Amazon. I wouldn't say you're a wuss, I'd say you really dislike Amazon. Maybe you have some valid reasons but my goodness I think you've made your point by now

        Golly, Alana. I'm exhausted after reading about your FLEX gig in SFO. And to think Trump has made America Great for the little people.pic.twitter.com/MyXaRP1idN

        It was an interesting point, but it does call to mind Charles Murray’s bubble survey.
