I presume they’re thinking about electricians’ and heating engineers’ jobs. Seems a bit over the top though because no-one’s forcing you to use the service (i.e. this is not the kind of problem that affects people who object personally) and because there are already online services which act as a proxy to help you find people to do jobs at home which have not led to a slew of domestic gas explosions (i.e. this is not the kind of problem that is likely to have a big effect on society)
Comment on Uber is testing a service that lets you hire drivers for chores

Not that I would hire them for anything though.

Yeah, that’s probably the case. Here, no one is hiring non licenced electricians and stuff like that, so I didn’t think of that.

Cleaning gutters or windows up high or cutting back large trees both seem dangerous enough, but I’m sure people will volunteer for it if they need the money.
