This is definitely a more entertaining, engaging and interactive experience. Maybe there can be more articles with data that can be constructed as a simulation game so that readers understand more and identify more with the data instead of the usual "look at the data and nice charts" report style.

Bloody hell. That was depressing. I think I'd be okay with passengers like me: going grocery shopping or commuting. But these passengers are awful.

If I only had to drive people like me, I'd be a 5-star

$1000/week mortgage without having a job. Yeah, the plan is totally solid.

That still doesn't discredit the premise of the article/game.

1k a week doesn't go far when you're paying your own taxes and have a kid.

AirBNB might represent the bright side of Gig Economy. Uber the dark side..

Airbnb makes cities unaffordable to actually live in because landlords decide they can make more money on Airbnb than by renting to locals. I'm not sure I would call that a 'bright side'.
