Autonomy is when you don’t need a boss breathing down your neck to know what time the engine should start. I clock in at six because I want my daughter’s tuition paid on time, not because some app tells me surge pricing starts at seven. Scheduling is for slaves who trade minutes for cash. I trade years of sweat for a life that’s mine, not a metered ride someone else controls. You think Ola drivers are free? They’re on lease, on loan, on a leash. I work the same hours, but I answer to the road—and my own tired bones—not a damn algorithm.
