In general I don't consider people on a 1099 a n entrepreneur myself. There are some rare exceptions to that because if someone has a consulting company they might have to get a 1099 from a client.
I hadn't heard the details on the Amazon delivery service but it doesn't surprise me. I would certainly like to see someone really do the math on Lyft and Uber. It is funny because my friend who bought a pretty new Ford Focus to do Lyft acts like he really likes it but like we have said. I don't think the math really works out. It is just kicking the can down the road and then suddenly the person is upside down on their car loan because they racked up insane miles. Also you are supposed to have additional insurance for that but a lot of people don't .
