And rightfully so - the world can’t all be small businesses of 1-2 persons.

There are things worth doing that require a large team working closely. More closely than a bunch of mercurial small businesses.

There are lots of things that don't require dedicated employees that companies insist on.

For example, a public school shouldn't need to employ janitors, it should just contract with cleaning companies.

Unfortunately, the high school systems in the US give people no education on starting small businesses so people lack the economic and practical knowledge on doing so.

I'm not even sure a cleaning company is needed, why not a cleaning Uber? (well, sounds like Homejoy actually, but for businesses)
