I think the Happy Meal analogy is a little backwards. When comparing it to workers and contractors, a more accurate one is:
Customers always got fries and a drink with their Happy Meal. Restaurants realize they can exploit their future customers by removing the fries and drink from the Happy Meal, but keeping the price the same. Customers are still hungry, so they're forced to continue to purchase this lesser meal for the same price.
- jdbernard 11y agoYes. The article sets up a false equivalence. In the case of the happy meal the power imbalance is not nearly as severe as it is in the case of employment. I think I tend to agree with the author regarding benefits, maybe, but either way I don't find this a convincing out productive argument.
