It's probably as close to a traditional, respectable job as anything the gig platform has ever offered you: campaign worker in tomorrows' election.

The timing is weird, though. How much can you be expected to do? And the pay is good... conditional on the candidate winning.

Understanding dawns as you see a cascade of angry and amused posts: _everybody_ has been offered that gig. It's obvious what they expect you to do.

An hour later the other candidate posts a similar gig, but by then you've joined one of the ad hoc guilds.

The bidding begins.
