"gig economy" can mean any number of things. programmers who are independent are technically gig workers. chefs, construction workers, stockers, writers, artists, etc.

you're attaching some attitude to someone who works on a job by job basis for no reason except some fantasy you've created. i have never heard anyone who works gigs of any kind to say anything about bootstraps or "the grind". those are terms you read on Twitter.

again, you are just spreading out a huge damning blanket over everyone who works that way due to your own biases.

    Theres nothing biased about the inherit fact that people who choose to work gig are choosing to work anti-union, anti-human jobs.

    ...where did you pull that from? your ass? how did we get to anti-union? you have some extremely glaring and obvious biases here. nothing about working these kinds of jobs is "anti-human". i guess if someone doesn't work the exact type of job you deem "good", they're a piece of shit?

    you desperately need to get off twitter and talk to real people. you're arguing like some obsessive cynic who has a narrow view of what's acceptable as fair as living goes.

    I'm on lemmy. Do you genuinely believe in your heart of hearts that I would ever touch a platform like twitter?

    Have you seen the discourse in gig economy circles when a union is brought up? I have, and they scream at yell and kick at you that a union will ruin their income, that you should just work a "normal job" if you want a union.

    If you consider someone being isolated the entire time theyre working to be pro-human, I'd hate to see your social life.

    Living should be fun and workers shouldnt have to kill themselves to live.

    no, I obviously haven't. because I don't chill with people who are anti-union. and those who work gigs I know never sit around talking shit about unions. nobody literally said anything about that. nobody said anything about unions or anti-unions. you did. that was all you.

    it has nothing to do at all with what we were talking about.

    also, a lot of those on the autism spectrum work better alone than with others. and can get TONS more work done as a result and their social life does not suffer. lots of people can work much more effeciantly by themselves if that's just their personality. but thanks for lumping every single person into one category again. 👍

    every comment you are making screams of "I don't like it so its bad." or you're just pulling random topics and inserting them into a conversation with no real connection to the topic whatsoever.

    So because I know of the community around the gig economy, I'm "pulling random topics and inserting them into a conversation with no real connection to the topic whatsoever."

    because I responded to your comments with my own lived experience, it had no connection.

    nice job pulling the autism card on a person with autism btw.

    i have it too, congrats. we're both humans with autism. i can see you will never relent or listen to anything that isn't your own bias, so I'm gonna just let this rest here.

    i am gonna go play some minecraft. enjoy villianizing the poor, or whatever it is you got goin on. ✌️

    Ah heck, haven't you been saying that the poors working gig jobs actively anti-human and -union? I thought you were quite clear, actually.

    people read what they want to read and ignore the rest.

    No, I'm talking about the people who choose to work gig economy, not the people who are on the verge of going homeless. There is a difference.
