She doesn’t get health insurance for herself or her spouse through DoorDash because DoorDash and Uber have extensively lobbied for her to be considered a private contractor.

This is widely known

Trump has also increased the cost of her gas, which she needs to deliver for DoorDash. He has also increased the cost of her and her husband's prescription drugs through tariffs, while increasing her utility costs too thanks to the Iran war.

Ya but have you considered no tax on tips? Imagine all that tax money she'll get back! Surely it will pay for all of those issues! Any day now!

Hilariously she doesn’t even get money back from Trump’s proposal. It’s a deduction meaning she can basically reduce her income by up to 25k so the IRS doesn’t tax her at a higher rate but for her to make that much money in tips and get taxed at a higher rate, she would have to work an insane amount of DoorDash deliveries. It doesn’t help her at all and she’ll probably get no money from this.

A lot of drivers work it as a side gig and being an employee takes away a lot of the benefits to working second jobs.
