Can't these unemployed sleep under bridges like the homeless? I'd love to watch and find out EXACTLY how easy it is for them to pick themselves up to success from the streets.
Why does Nevada allow independent contractors? If this practice were outlawed the county would make more revenue from both the employer and employee. Right now these companies such as Intelliquick Delivery are getting a free ride and it is not fair to the other business owners who hire real employees, or the state who for example pays for the roads but gets shortchanges with co's taxes like IQ.
