The problem I have with the gig economy is that many are treated as "independent contractors" (privatize the profits, socialize the costs) where the parent company pays a wage but takes no responsibility for anything else. Frequently the employee has to deduct and prepay his own taxes. Maybe that works for some people, but that would introduce too much complexity into my life.
