Gig work is "popular" because wealth-driven systemic pressure is replacing FTE with gig jobs in order to fatten the bottom line.
- chii 2y ago> do you think most people can choose not to work? they have the choice - because they have agency. Slavery is literally taking that agency away. Having agency doesn't mean being immune to the consequences. The consequences of a slave "choosing" to not work is punishment and death. The consequences of a gig worker choosing not to work is to claim basic benefits (but hardly will die). It's uncomfortable, and i will bet most people will choose to work, but it doesn't mean someone is forcing them.
