Its Maura Healey. She does this all the time. Spends the taxpayers money fighting her favorite nationwide socialist causes. Mixed record of actual wins. Doesn't bother with problems citizens have. Adores AOC and Granny Warren.

I drove Uber for a while when I was in between jobs last year. Most of them deserve benefits. I drive a shit load more than 20 hours though. I drove 7 days a week about 10 hours a day. They offer perks but none as good as benefits. A free Subway sandwich is not a health plan!
