#7Unsurprising, but luckily only applicable to the US however undoubtedly will be referred to on other trials in other economies.
We've always had the 'gig' economic problem.
It's maybe me but I don't get it. Treating employment as subcontracting tilts benefits massively to the employer and reduces unionisation. It's anti worker. It's retrograde. It's going to increase dependencies on state benefits due to the lack of savings, depressed lifetime income and absense of 401 self funded retirement.

If that were all that mattered, then sure. There are a dozen or so other considerations.
