This is interesting to me because it suggests that the future of work is in the hands of those who can hustle, rather than in sharing-economy fiefdoms like Airbnb and Uber. I've been adamant for a long time that the best path to a growing economy is lowering the barriers to entrepreneurship through education, less onerous regulations for small businesses, tax incentives to start a small business, and, probably more important than any piece of legislation, a change in the culture. Entrepreneurship should be the first choice for everyone, not just folks that read HN. |

Instead of the Gig Economy, the Hustle Economy?
Hustling is not a desirable state of employment. I don't want scrambling for money here and there to replace steady, productive jobs. Right now hustlers are glamorized, but it used to be an insult.
EDIT: It's useful to employers who don't want the responsibilities of actual employees.
> Entrepreneurship should be the first choice for everyone
Why? How will this produce better results than full-time jobs? How about people with obligations such as children and mortgages?
> less onerous regulations for small businesses
I keep hearing this, but after cutting regulations for 30 years eventually we must arrive at the right amount. After a certain point, losing weight is bad for your health; you might even need to gain some. What particular regulations in particular is everyone complaining about?
