Nicely written! I've had some similar negative Gig Economy experiences myself (@liveonprio). And YES, it's definitely important for young people to consider their investments NOW! Great call. We are doing our best at THOR to fix the Gig Economy as much as possible. I believe 'gig work' helps people develop a more independent and entrepreneurial mindset, and allows for more FREEDOM. Also, I think it does have the potential to optimize the workforce by encouraging true value creation by cutting out sometimes unnecessary overhead ; ) Can you see a mature 'gig economy' potentially being truly beneficial for people...and the cause of freedom?
I think there is a big upside potential to the Gig Economy but things are going to need to stabilize somehow on the world economic system. It is a very interesting situation we are in right now with prices and wages all over the place depending on the country you live in. Additionally everyone seems to ignore the giant "Elephant in the Room" of climate change and environmental issues. Somehow I think the two issues are very related and solving them will bring about a lasting abundance for many people and things in the world.
