I agree with many of the points in this article, though I think it's interesting that this strikes a chord. Because this is just a more micro version of the macro-economic chase for comparative advantage and efficiency, where we outsource production to developing countries, whether it be clothing or call centers, or whatever. Same end goal right? Cheaper than doing it yourself, implying that you free up your own resources to do... well more [service oriented/ white collar] work. I guess the one thing about the shut-in economy is that if we can think about these social issues, then there's hope we can also think about slave labor, or child labor, etc. when they are employed by major businesses (the original "apps") we buy from all the time.
