As a socialist, I appreciate the desire to create sustainable living conditions for all people disconnected from the value the "free market" assigns them.

That said, I am a little baffled by the focus on gig-economy jobs. You want to know what really sucks? Try working at fucking Wal-Mart. All the same problems + zero respect for your time, no flexibility, etc.

Driving for Uber may suck, but the reason so many people do it is that working retail or fast food is much worse and they are desperate for money.

There are a lot of really nasty, shitty jobs in this world, apparently these are the only ones we can be bothered to care about.
