Worker protections are expensive and come with industry regulation. Corporations have figured out that they can simply shift their business model to the "second class of job" and ignore regulations and worker protections. The companies organizing it rake billions while the workers make less than a living wage and often rely on public subsidies to survive, which is effectively a subsidy for these corporations who rake in billions off the backs of these workers.
- smsm42 8y agoIf you ban these jobs, would people that subsist on job+subsidy consume more public subsidies or less? Note that you assumed these people are very poor and have no alternative jobs. Now you have taken away their only (albeit low) income they had. Would it lead to consuming more of public subsidies or less? Would absence of taxes paid by corporations make providing these subsidies easier or harder?
