All jobs have lulls and busy times. But what this comes down to is that employment law costs money. How much? Between $7000-$10000 per employee. It's a no-brainer to cut out employment law and make the choice between "work crappy consultant job or don't work at all", that is, if you can sustain it. Homejoy couldn't, because of gross mismanagement and eventual reclassification by the IRS. The ultimate goal is to remove all human labor from the market. UBER already came out with that statement: they want to automate their fleet as soon as possible. It's also the trend of every company to reduce labor, increase automated work, lower wages, and increase profits. Damned be the employees/consultants/1099's/hoi polloi. Why am I against "Sharing economy"? I'm not. What I'm against is "What are we going to do with 50% unemployment?" Republicans can't even contemplate science, and are busy bickering about climate change. Democrats have only a basic view of 'workers good, companies bad', except when they are being funded. But still, the question remains is "How do we transition to an economy that can handle massive unemployment with a great deal of goods and profit being made?"
