A few years back I had to run door dash orders to pay the bills. I noticed then that distribution of labor removes a lot of the spirit and purpose behind the work.

No one at the call center is enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done, it is complete detached. I'm sure the laborers are pushed hard to high quotas and have zero time to follow up with customers.

I think we need to back to owning the entire system if we are going to have better services, better profits and satisfied employees.

Easy there comrade, you need to watch that talk about alienation of labor and ownership of the means of production. But it is interesting how a brief trip through the gig economy will start someone talking like Marx even if they (presumably) haven't read him.
I think that means we're doing as well socioeconomically as 1800s Prussia.
Like Marx or the Unabomber
