The regular groaning about articles like this aside, a new thing that I see is that we "don't aspire to steady jobs." Bullshit. There are no steady jobs! We don't get benefits, we don't get raises. The only way for us to get any kind of income increase is to find another job that will hopefully pay us more than the last one. I hate gig work. I want a steady paycheck. I want affordable healthcare. I want to be able to save for retirement. I want to make a higher effective wage than I did last year. What the hell is wrong with the people who write these articles?
