I'm sure they'd like to sign up for something else. It's not some free marketplace of employers. The deals are shit all around.

There are lots of people that enjoy the 'gig' jobs because of the freedom to work (or not) whenever they want.

Even more 'choose' gig shit-work because that's all that was available.

And sure, homelessness, hunger, and low/no medical is a "choice", its not a choice we make lightly.

So worse is better than homeless. And people are stratified out of even the working class.

This is complete nonsense. There's no shortage of low still, low wage jobs - most of which would pay better in the longrun, have opportunities for advancement, and so on.

But they don't come with the freedom that gig jobs do which is their primary appeal.

It's not worth it. The insurance you want to provide is not sustainable. Or if you think it is the make the company and compete. The other option are these dealers shutting down and now no one has a source of income.

Europe calls bullshit on this line of reasoning. You've drank too much koolaide friend.
