    I can’t wait to have underpaid, non licensed, non professional people in my home doing potentially dangerous tasks and going through my personal things!

      Bro of course I left a live electrical wire floating around in there . He only provided a $5 tip. He deserves what’s coming to him. What a piece of shit.

      Dangerous? What dangerous tasks do you have at home. And presumably you wouldn’t hire them for that if you’re concerned about that.

      Not that I would hire them for anything though.

        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.

        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)

          Oh, and I just thought they are talking about everyday chores, like doing the laundry, vacuuming, going to the grocery store or pharmacy, cut the grass or the tree, stuff like that. Which don’t require any certification.

          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.
