CircuitUnfortunately, there's no simple solution. One issue with pushing back against the driver labor ecosystem is that it's quite fractured. Amazon, to use one major example, doesn't employ most of the drivers you see tooling around in its trucks.

“You’re never quite sure when you go home how people are going to receive you,” says Chris Martin from Wembley’s stage. It’s the kind of thing that hugely successful rock stars say to get a cheer from a home town crowd, but perhaps there is a hint of disquiet in Coldplay’s world in 2022. What is, presumably, the most environmentally friendly tour in rock history – energy generated by stationary bikes and a kinentic dancefloor in the audience, a backstage generator that runs on cooking oil, and souvenir T-shirts priced at…
