    That’s not what cracking down on gig economy is. Gig economy benefits nobody except the rich farts at the top of the companies employing it. It is entirely and solely meant to increase profits of the bosses, and shoving those costs onto the country the company is operating in.

    And hence changes such as these are entirely meant to move that money back. Ideally, for the employee, nothing changes at all. Their bosses buy 5 Porsche a year instead of 8, and the country has another company paying their required taxes and insurances they happened to be skirting until now.
