Yeah I could have made my comment more likable by ending with a call for unionization/regulation/HN's silver bullet of the week.

I feel like that doesn't do justice to people who have to work shitty jobs to make their living but I can't quite articulate why.

Let me take a stab at it - perhaps it makes you feel disingenuous to some degree to propose large-scale, "silver-bullet", beaten-to-death solutions/strategies.

Reason being that, from a practical/cynical perspective, these proposals can too easily be co-opted into red-herring cudgels intended to end discussions before they delve into the realm of the more granular, nuanced, uncomfortable details.
