This is a good point; but perhaps we need to think a little more "meta" about the situation. In our era of late stage capitalism Finance dictates production - this is an inherently cannibalistic model of economics and it's not surprise that the U.S. labor market continues to degrade into a more "gig" (Considering a "tour of duty" a gig for arguments sake) economy that hurts the laborers the most. We should question if this is the system we want to continue to perpetuate, or on the flip side do we want more regulations and restructuring of our market economy? The question is not "More or less market?" but rather "What kind of market?"
