At some point rather recently we made the decision to get rid of all the icky blue collar jobs and replace them with service economy job. The people who protested this change were branded as backwards hicks and their concerns were hand waved away along with promises of retraining. The gig economy is just more of the same but we get told that wages are rising in other countries so we should be happy, as we subsidize some startup with our cars or our houses. But hey, we are getting rid of the 9 to 5 right?
