the "gig" economy, now a third of the work force, creates a working class that isn't profitable to become a business with employees but are considered not good enough to be hired full time at a corporation. Avoiding the burden of health, welfare etc. zety.com/blog/gig-econo…

What you want to be is the agent for gig workers. The new slave bosses who traffic in economic desperation. Slice a percentage from gig'ers in exchange for keeping them working below survival rates. Or an agent's agent like "uber heroes" uber.com/ua/en/earn/ube…
I watch with sadness as the Amazon droids burn up the back roads trying to make deliveries on time. I try to make friends with Lyft drivers and someday hope to open a home for Wayward Phone Cam girls. But somebody has to call bulshit on the gig business. cnbc.com/2019/06/19/how…
