Gig Economy Company Launches Uber, But for Evicting People

During a time of great economic and general hardship, Civvl aims to be, essentially, Uber, but for evicting people.

(However, research has also shown that some kinds of vitamin D tests don’t detect the form of vitamin D that is present in a majority of African Americans—which means those tests might falsely diagnose vitamin D deficiencies in those individuals. This particular study accepted either kind of test as criteria.)
