This appears to be a complaint that &quot;business can&#x27;t compete if it has to pay its employees properly.&quot; What the &quot;gig economy&quot; offers used to be called &quot;day labour&quot;, and it was always just that one step from starvation. There are <i>reasons</i> people want stable conditions, and are learning to fear the word &quot;disruption&quot; and consider it an attack on them and theirs.
