> the future of work is in the hands of those who can hustle

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?

That's just a sugar-coated way of saying: "We, the capital owners want to externalize the risk to everyone else"
