Good article. I've often compared the 'deliveroo economy' to what happened in the early 20th century when it became impossible for rich Britons to find domestic servants because there were so many other better paid jobs available, which basically led to the death of domestic service. We now rightly see this as a positive development, but if the British aristocracy had had access to mass immigration in this period, doubtless they would have tried to import labour from India to do it.
