How ZIRX will end up just like Homejoy

To my understanding, Homejoy went under because of it the worker classification lawsuits happening.<p>The title of this post seems to try and connect a shitty customer experience with the connotation of how its contractor model won&#x27;t be sustainable long-term, but the actual content doesn&#x27;t deliver on what it implies. Instead, it doesn&#x27;t seem to make any substantial comparisons to how Homejoy and Zirx are related other than the fact that both companies employ 1099 contractors and why the business model doesn&#x27;t work.
