Loved your reply, cheers! My post was made with a mix of humor, skepticism, anticipation, and unease about the $statusQuo.

As far as hating on gig economy, that pot has been stirring in California quite a bit (prop 22, labor law discussions, etc.). I think many people (IMO, mostly from positions of privilege) make assumptions on gig workers' behalf and bad ideas sometimes balloon out of proportion.

Also, just from my experience as a gold miner who moved out here to SF and being around founders, I've learned that lies, and a damn lot of lies, are more common than I thought they'd be. Quite surprising, but hey I guess quite a non-insignificant number of people are too busy fooling the King that it is actually real gold! And there are a lot of Kings these days.
