His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

At the same time, it has never made a profit — and has instead been burning through cash at a prodigious rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Uber IPO coverage\" tag=\"ipo\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has grown massively in the decade since its founding and has footprints around the world. Its wild success has made Uber a household name — not just synonymous with ride-hailing but shorthand for any app that offers a service on demand: \"Uber, but for laundry,\" \"Uber, but for dog-walking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these days, Uber itself is the Uber for a lot more than ride-hailing. Uber Eats is Uber, but for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/23/658436657/ubers-online-only-restaurants-the-future-or-the-end-of-dining-out\">takeout\u003c/a>. Uber Freight is Uber, but for shipping. Jump is Uber, but for electric bikes and scooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a company that's fighting a lot of battles on a lot of fronts,\" says Tom White, an analyst at D.A. Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been expensive for Uber to expand into all those new markets. And the company has burned through money while keeping rates low to compete with its numerous rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has mastered the art of rapid growth. But how can it pivot to become a profitable company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the $100 billion question,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber is losing money, and you have to have a little bit of a vision to see them taking that revenue and start turning it into profit,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Arounian and White are optimistic about Uber's chances — eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has sheer scale on its side, giving it a balance sheet that will let it wait out competitors. And once rivals have dropped out or consolidated, Uber can stop spending so much on discounts and coupons (thus effectively raising prices for users) and start bringing in more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arounian also notes that there's an advantage to being the Uber for everything. If drivers work for multiple Uber platforms — for example, for ride-hailing and for Uber Eats — they can fill a day more efficiently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"During peak driving times, that driver is picking people up and dropping them off,\" Arounian says. \"Lunchtime kicks in — they're dropping off food. Switch back on during the evening rush hour to drop people off, and then they could do dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Uber an edge over companies that offer just one service. Cut some expenses, find a way to spend less on insurance, eventually roll out self-driving cars, and you may have a recipe for profits, Arounian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's reason to be skeptical. To make this recipe work, Uber has to crush a small army of competitors. And when it comes to self-driving cars, there are huge obstacles, including not just technical challenges but also a maze of regulatory hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts who believe in Uber's future profits emphasize that they're talking about the long term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, aside from the minor detail that it burns billions of dollars each year, Uber has other challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers have complained about their pay. On Wednesday, drivers \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/08/721333408/uber-and-lyft-drivers-are-striking-and-call-on-passengers-to-boycott\">went on strike \u003c/a>and protested in cities across the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Hicks was on strike in Los Angeles. He noted that Uber recently cut driver per-mile pay by 25% in that city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My main concern is making sure that each and every individual driver makes enough money to put food on the table, to pay the bills,\" Hicks said, standing at the protest at Los Angeles International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some drivers have called to be treated like employees, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/17/415262801/california-labor-commission-rules-uber-driver-is-an-employee-not-a-contractor\">not contractors\u003c/a>, which would hurt Uber financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there is Uber's dented brand. The company was long famous for openly flouting laws. Its corporate culture was toxic. Women who worked at Uber have reported rampant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/06/531806891/uber-fires-20-employees-after-sexual-harassment-claim-investigation\">sexual harassment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/06/21/533791446/after-ceo-resignation-is-uber-kalanick-less-or-kalanick-free\">ousted co-founder Travis Kalanick\u003c/a> as CEO and replaced him with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/27/546621735/uber-picks-new-ceo-expedias-dara-khosrowshahi\">Dara Khosrowshahi\u003c/a>, who has been tasked with cleaning up shop — and, with some of Uber's reputation restored, taking the company public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the IPO approaches, Uber has tempered expectations slightly. Lyft's IPO in March is a bit of a cautionary tale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's smaller ride-sharing rival set an ambitious price for its shares. After an initial pop, Lyft's stock slid dramatically. It has dropped nearly 30% from its IPO price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Uber prepares to follow Lyft into the stock market, it's \u003cem>not\u003c/em> aiming for a $120 billion valuation, like some analysts had previously floated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, with a total value of $80 billion to $90 billion, this will be the largest IPO in five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Its wild success has made Uber a household name — not just synonymous with ride-hailing but shorthand for any app that offers a service on demand: \"Uber, but for laundry,\" \"Uber, but for dog-walking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these days, Uber itself is the Uber for a lot more than ride-hailing. Uber Eats is Uber, but for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/23/658436657/ubers-online-only-restaurants-the-future-or-the-end-of-dining-out\">takeout\u003c/a>.

Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been expensive for Uber to expand into all those new markets. And the company has burned through money while keeping rates low to compete with its numerous rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has mastered the art of rapid growth. But how can it pivot to become a profitable company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the $100 billion question,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber is losing money, and you have to have a little bit of a vision to see them taking that revenue and start turning it into profit,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Arounian and White are optimistic about Uber's chances — eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And once rivals have dropped out or consolidated, Uber can stop spending so much on discounts and coupons (thus effectively raising prices for users) and start bringing in more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arounian also notes that there's an advantage to being the Uber for everything. If drivers work for multiple Uber platforms — for example, for ride-hailing and for Uber Eats — they can fill a day more efficiently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"During peak driving times, that driver is picking people up and dropping them off,\" Arounian says. \"Lunchtime kicks in — they're dropping off food. Switch back on during the evening rush hour to drop people off, and then they could do dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Uber an edge over companies that offer just one service. Cut some expenses, find a way to spend less on insurance, eventually roll out self-driving cars, and you may have a recipe for profits, Arounian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's reason to be skeptical. To make this recipe work, Uber has to crush a small army of competitors. And when it comes to self-driving cars, there are huge obstacles, including not just technical challenges but also a maze of regulatory hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts who believe in Uber's future profits emphasize that they're talking about the long term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, aside from the minor detail that it burns billions of dollars each year, Uber has other challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers have complained about their pay. On Wednesday, drivers \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/08/721333408/uber-and-lyft-drivers-are-striking-and-call-on-passengers-to-boycott\">went on strike \u003c/a>and protested in cities across the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Hicks was on strike in Los Angeles. He noted that Uber recently cut driver per-mile pay by 25% in that city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My main concern is making sure that each and every individual driver makes enough money to put food on the table, to pay the bills,\" Hicks said, standing at the protest at Los Angeles International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some drivers have called to be treated like employees, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/17/415262801/california-labor-commission-rules-uber-driver-is-an-employee-not-a-contractor\">not contractors\u003c/a>, which would hurt Uber financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there is Uber's dented brand. The company was long famous for openly flouting laws. Its corporate culture was toxic. Women who worked at Uber have reported rampant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/06/531806891/uber-fires-20-employees-after-sexual-harassment-claim-investigation\">sexual harassment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/06/21/533791446/after-ceo-resignation-is-uber-kalanick-less-or-kalanick-free\">ousted co-founder Travis Kalanick\u003c/a> as CEO and replaced him with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/27/546621735/uber-picks-new-ceo-expedias-dara-khosrowshahi\">Dara Khosrowshahi\u003c/a>, who has been tasked with cleaning up shop — and, with some of Uber's reputation restored, taking the company public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the IPO approaches, Uber has tempered expectations slightly. Lyft's IPO in March is a bit of a cautionary tale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's smaller ride-sharing rival set an ambitious price for its shares. After an initial pop, Lyft's stock slid dramatically. It has dropped nearly 30% from its IPO price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Uber prepares to follow Lyft into the stock market, it's \u003cem>not\u003c/em> aiming for a $120 billion valuation, like some analysts had previously floated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, with a total value of $80 billion to $90 billion, this will be the largest IPO in five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Many, many, many of them are very aware the companies have been treating us unfairly. There’s a very big awareness of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Steph_Lister_7/status/1126200496039940097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber driver Gabriel Ets-Hokin said the real danger with the company is that it built its business by fragmenting workers and slashing their pay below livable rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What will society look like when this model is exported to other industries?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erica Mighetto said she drives to San Francisco from Sacramento to try to make money driving for Lyft. She took the job because her dad has diabetes and she‘s the primary caregiver. But she said she now has to drive 60 hours a week to pay the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SamWHarnett/status/1126213122228809728\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the \u003ca href=\"https://drivers-united.org/strike\">drivers' demands in Los Angeles \u003c/a>are a 10% cap on commissions taken by Uber and Lyft, hourly minimum pay and fare breakdowns on passenger receipts that show the companies' take. New York drivers \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytwa.org/home/2019/5/7/nyc-is-strike-ready-tomorrow-uber-lyft-juno-via-apps-off-7am-9am\">are demanding\u003c/a> an end to sudden account deactivations and the right to appeal through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike was spearheaded by \u003ca href=\"https://drivers-united.org/\">Rideshare Drivers United\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles-based association of drivers. And the group is asking for the support of would-be passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We ask that the public support drivers in their struggle for fair wages and our Drivers bill of rights,\" spokesman Brian Dolber said in an email to NPR. \"We are calling for community standards that will ensure that Uber and Lyft do not create needless traffic and pollution. By boycotting Uber/Lyft for 24 hours, passengers can show that they stand with RDU in our fight for a rideshare industry that truly serves Angelenos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When companies go public, it usually means big money for executives and sometimes nice payouts for employees. San Francisco's housing market has been bracing for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/style/uber-ipo-san-francisco-rich.html\">thousands\u003c/a> of newly minted millionaires spawned by four major IPOs this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's valuation could be as high as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/26/technology/uber-ipo-valuation-price-range.html?module=inline\">$91 billion\u003c/a> when trading begins, which would place it among the top three most valuable firms to ever debut on a U.S. exchange. Co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick's stake may be worth \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/05/business/dealbook/uber-ipo.html\">as much as\u003c/a> $5.9 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SamWHarnett/status/1126209288081293312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the IPO won't be life-changing for most drivers, who Uber insists are independent contractors, not employees. Some drivers will receive \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1543151/000119312519120759/d647752ds1a.htm#toc647752_1\">one-time bonuses\u003c/a> according to their loyalty: Those who completed more than 2,500 trips before April 7 and at least one this year are eligible for a bonus, ranging from $100 for those drivers with 2,500 completed trips to $40,000 for 40,000 completed trips. U.S. drivers can use that bonus to buy \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uber-ipo-will-uber-drivers-profit-from-tech-companys-initial-public-offering/\">up to $10,000 in stock\u003c/a> in the company at the IPO price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may not end up being a great deal if Lyft's IPO is any indication: Its shares are down about 20% since the initial offering. Some drivers also \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/29/707908980/uber-and-lyft-drivers-strike-in-california\">went on strike\u003c/a> before Lyft went public in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strikes or rallies are also planned in Chicago, Washington, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Diego and Stamford, Connecticut. On Twitter, organizers are using the hashtags #StrikeUberLyft and #AppsOffMay8 to build momentum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This strike is taking different forms in different cities, but in the L.A. metro area, the strike will last for \u003ca href=\"https://drivers-united.org/strike\">24 hours\u003c/a>, with a picket line at Los Angeles International Airport and a noon rally. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance called for \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytwa.org/home/2019/5/7/nyc-is-strike-ready-tomorrow-uber-lyft-juno-via-apps-off-7am-9am\">a rush-hour strike\u003c/a>, during which drivers will turn off the Uber, Lyft, Juno and Via apps from 7 to 9 a.m., and then rally outside Uber and Lyft headquarters in Long Island City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber/Lyft going public on the stock market will make billionaires of Uber and Lyft bosses while drivers struggle in poverty and the companies destroy the livelihoods of drivers in every sector,\" the New York drivers' organization says in its call to action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who often use ride-hailing apps and want to support the strike, today may mean a commute by public transit, a cab or bicycle. At D.C.-area airports, officials arranged for extra cabs and said they always encourage passengers to consider taking the Metro rail system or the bus, The Washington Post \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2019/05/07/strike-by-uber-lyft-drivers-wednesday-has-potential-disrupt-travel-thousands/?utm_term=.f1d44fa418bf\">reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to Post, Uber said drivers \"are at the heart of our service — we can't succeed without them — and thousands of people come into work at Uber every day focused on how to make their experience better, on and off the road. Whether it's more consistent earnings, stronger insurance protections or fully-funded four-year degrees for drivers or their families, we'll continue working to improve the experience for and with drivers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sam Harnett and Stephanie Lister contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Developing autonomous vehicles is key to reducing driver costs, and Lyft is behind competitors such as Google spin-off Waymo, which has begun testing a ride-hailing service using its robotic minivans in the Phoenix area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cutting costs by reducing pay to drivers also could prove difficult, a challenge underscored by \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735251/lyft-and-uber-drivers-in-s-f-l-a-stage-one-day-strike-in-push-for-higher-wages\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">protests staged earlier this week over wages\u003c/a> that drivers complain already are too low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Lyft's revenue per ride has been increasing, so some analysts see the company as headed in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft's co-founders Logan Green and John Zimmer have structured the shares so that together they will hold 49 percent of the voting power, enough to substantially influence major decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft has focused on its mission of getting people to give up their personal cars in favor of ride-hailing, shared bikes and scooters, and has remained in North America. By contrast, Uber has expanded overseas and recently bought Careem, a major rival in the Middle East, while experimenting with food delivery, boats and freight operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's become increasingly common for unprofitable tech companies to go public, and the percentage of money-losing tech companies that entered the market in 2018 rivals 2000, when the dot-com bubble burst, according to data from Jay Ritter, finance professor at the University of Florida. Some, like Amazon, which took several years to turn a profit after its IPO turned into great bets for early investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post will be updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>There’s one thing 32-year-old Jodie Collins always keeps in the trunk of her car: a blanket. That’s because sometimes, in the middle of her marathon workdays, she needs to take a little nap so she can keep on going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last three years, Collins has commuted nearly two hours each way from Sacramento to San Francisco on weekends to work as a mobile stylist. She gets gigs doing hair and makeup for clients through apps like Glamsquad and StyleBee. Between appointments, she drives for Lyft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I work 18-hour days sometimes on Saturdays to make the long drive into the city worth it,\" she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This cobbling together of gig work to make a living is a reality for a growing number of people like Collins. They're super commuters, traveling more than 90 minutes for work each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Highs are really, really high, but lows can be really low with these apps. At the end of the day, the pressure all falls on you.'\u003ccite>Jodie Collins\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is an especially popular place to find these types of jobs because people who can afford to live in the city are more likely to use on-demand services. The irony is that those who perform these services often cannot afford to live in the city, so they commute from more affordable places, like Modesto, Stockton and Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The 18-Hour Workday\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On a typical Saturday, Collins wakes up at 4:45 a.m. She arrives in San Francisco by 8 a.m. for her first gig. The day I met with her, she was doing hair for a wedding party. Collins says she typically packs in as many clients as she can to make the trip worthwhile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At around 6 p.m. she stops styling hair and starts driving people around the city until midnight. Sometimes, she admits, the pay isn’t worth it. People have thrown up in her car, and sometimes she worries about her safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The drunker people get, the more issues you run into,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Collins finishes driving for Lyft, she either crashes in the city for the night or heads back to Sacramento. She often gets into bed around 2:30 a.m., nearly 24 hours after she first woke up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn’t the life she envisioned for herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve got really, really, really big dreams,” says Collins. “As an entrepreneur, I have big dreams for a business called Jodie’s Little Gems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the time she was a teenager, Collins dreamt of being a stylist. But with $20,000 in cosmetology debt looming over her head, Collins is just trying to stay afloat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Highs are really, really high, but lows can be really low with these apps,” she says. “At the end of the day the pressure all falls on you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins has gotten speeding and carpool lane violation tickets, and once her car was stolen while she was doing hair for a bridal party. What’s more, some of the apps charge her if she misses an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People like me really do need a little stability and help. Health care is expensive. Taxes are expensive,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A full-time job offers a stable income and insurance, but it won’t give her the flexibility she needs to take care of one of the most important people in her life, her older brother, Jeffrey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s had over 28 brain surgeries,” Collins says. “Nine hip and femur surgeries. His cerebral palsy was so bad at some point it was just curling his legs and making them go [cross-legged].”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Jeffrey\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey, who is now 40 years old, was not supposed to survive birth. When Collins' mom was pregnant with him, she developed listeriosis, an intense bacterial infection that can cause birth defects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11708741\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11708741\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-800x525.jpg\" alt=\"Jodie commutes to San Francisco on weekends to work 18-hour-days so that she can be there to take care of her brother Jeffrey during the week. \" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-800x525.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-1020x669.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-1200x787.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jodie commutes to San Francisco on weekends to work 18-hour days so that she can be there to take care of her brother, Jeffrey, during the week. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For most of his life, Jeffrey has been in and out of the ICU, which means for Collins, holding down a full-time job is nearly impossible. She says she’s lost many jobs because she had to abruptly leave work to help her brother or her mom, who recently had a double mastectomy. Her father is also struggling. He recently had quadruple bypass surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt a very strong obligation to him,\" says Collins, about her brother. \"It was always like he’s going to die. They prepare us for death. It made me so strong. I am not scared of much these days.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey spends his life in a daybed. Collins helps change his diapers and move him to refresh the bedding. Jeffrey can’t say much, but he loves music. He has a radio on the table in front of him. He turns the dial in search of the songs he likes. When he finds one, he dances with his hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins sometimes wonders where her career would be if she didn’t have so much responsibility at home. She thinks she might have been a little farther along, or at least not in so much debt — in a place where she didn’t have to rely on gigs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I would have been better off in a certain sense,” Collins says. “But then again not, because I wouldn’t be the actual person with the morals and values and goals and work ethic I have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Collins does wish is that she didn’t have to choose between being there for her brother and having a full-time job. As long as that’s the case, she’ll keep being an on-demand super commuter, heading to the Bay Area every weekend to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That’s because sometimes, in the middle of her marathon workdays, she needs to take a little nap so she can keep on going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last three years, Collins has commuted nearly two hours each way from Sacramento to San Francisco on weekends to work as a mobile stylist. She gets gigs doing hair and makeup for clients through apps like Glamsquad and StyleBee. Between appointments, she drives for Lyft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I work 18-hour days sometimes on Saturdays to make the long drive into the city worth it,\" she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This cobbling together of gig work to make a living is a reality for a growing number of people like Collins. They're super commuters, traveling more than 90 minutes for work each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Highs are really, really high, but lows can be really low with these apps. At the end of the day, the pressure all falls on you.'\u003ccite>Jodie Collins\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is an especially popular place to find these types of jobs because people who can afford to live in the city are more likely to use on-demand services. The irony is that those who perform these services often cannot afford to live in the city, so they commute from more affordable places, like Modesto, Stockton and Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The 18-Hour Workday\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On a typical Saturday, Collins wakes up at 4:45 a.m. She arrives in San Francisco by 8 a.m. for her first gig. The day I met with her, she was doing hair for a wedding party. Collins says she typically packs in as many clients as she can to make the trip worthwhile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At around 6 p.m. she stops styling hair and starts driving people around the city until midnight. Sometimes, she admits, the pay isn’t worth it. People have thrown up in her car, and sometimes she worries about her safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The drunker people get, the more issues you run into,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Collins finishes driving for Lyft, she either crashes in the city for the night or heads back to Sacramento. She often gets into bed around 2:30 a.m., nearly 24 hours after she first woke up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn’t the life she envisioned for herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve got really, really, really big dreams,” says Collins. “As an entrepreneur, I have big dreams for a business called Jodie’s Little Gems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But with $20,000 in cosmetology debt looming over her head, Collins is just trying to stay afloat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Highs are really, really high, but lows can be really low with these apps,” she says. “At the end of the day the pressure all falls on you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins has gotten speeding and carpool lane violation tickets, and once her car was stolen while she was doing hair for a bridal party. What’s more, some of the apps charge her if she misses an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People like me really do need a little stability and help. Health care is expensive. Taxes are expensive,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A full-time job offers a stable income and insurance, but it won’t give her the flexibility she needs to take care of one of the most important people in her life, her older brother, Jeffrey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s had over 28 brain surgeries,” Collins says. “Nine hip and femur surgeries. His cerebral palsy was so bad at some point it was just curling his legs and making them go [cross-legged].”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Jeffrey\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey, who is now 40 years old, was not supposed to survive birth. When Collins' mom was pregnant with him, she developed listeriosis, an intense bacterial infection that can cause birth defects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11708741\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11708741\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-800x525.jpg\" alt=\"Jodie commutes to San Francisco on weekends to work 18-hour-days so that she can be there to take care of her brother Jeffrey during the week. \" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-800x525.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-1020x669.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey-1200x787.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JodieAndJeffrey.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jodie commutes to San Francisco on weekends to work 18-hour days so that she can be there to take care of her brother, Jeffrey, during the week. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For most of his life, Jeffrey has been in and out of the ICU, which means for Collins, holding down a full-time job is nearly impossible. She says she’s lost many jobs because she had to abruptly leave work to help her brother or her mom, who recently had a double mastectomy. Her father is also struggling. He recently had quadruple bypass surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt a very strong obligation to him,\" says Collins, about her brother. \"It was always like he’s going to die. They prepare us for death. It made me so strong. I am not scared of much these days.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey spends his life in a daybed. Collins helps change his diapers and move him to refresh the bedding. Jeffrey can’t say much, but he loves music. He has a radio on the table in front of him. He turns the dial in search of the songs he likes. When he finds one, he dances with his hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins sometimes wonders where her career would be if she didn’t have so much responsibility at home. She thinks she might have been a little farther along, or at least not in so much debt — in a place where she didn’t have to rely on gigs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I would have been better off in a certain sense,” Collins says. “But then again not, because I wouldn’t be the actual person with the morals and values and goals and work ethic I have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Collins does wish is that she didn’t have to choose between being there for her brother and having a full-time job. As long as that’s the case, she’ll keep being an on-demand super commuter, heading to the Bay Area every weekend to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
