Private contractors can work as much as they want. They don't need paid vacations or paid holidays or overtime pay either, right? You see this as progress or in any way better for a Joe Schmuck worker? What failed was their Hoover type policies. Sorry... What I meant was their attempt to keep the clock turned back. There was an original "Firster" movement in this country. What failed the first time was their attempt to counter the New Deal. Counter progressivism. That's where they want a mulligan. They want a do-over w/their conservative anti-progressive model. Look we even have tariffs! Wow, what a shock.

Further, would those working in the gig economy be better off or worse off if their job didn’t exist?
