Dark stores / ghost kitchens (+ rapid delivery & the 15 min city) -- remaking the 15 minute city
Delivery/ridehail in rural areas -- alongside industry shifts (and gig work always morphing), rust belt, demographic shifts bc of rise of remote work

Worker-led advocacy groups inside and outside of ocmpanies, with and without company backing - Working WA, Uber Crew, Dasher Council, Drive Forward, Flex Association -- the difference in workers feeling heard, informing +/- changes, does the way we reach outcomes (better working conditions) matter
also: the divisiveness over classification, but the general consensus around other issues re: pay, deactivation, transparency - and everyone wants flexibility
how these orgs fit into the propaganda and coalitions around policy development
and when/how they fund or commision research studies - eg. Protect App-Based Drivers + Services (PADS) Coalition commissioning UC Riverside study on the + impact of delivery services on restaurants (UC Riverside conveniently had the blessing of using company data)

This is potentially a very good source of data for a QCA study that looks at why cooperatives fail in the gig economy
