    You are confusing being self employed with gig economy bullshit. There are a lot of fields of occupation where being self employed makes sense und gives you more freedom. By the way - I'm talking from own experience being self employed fore quite some time now.

      There are people living in shacks within a kilometer from where I'm typing this, Clyde… every second person living there has more (so-called) "entrepreneurship" in their big toe than you have in your entire body because they literally have to do it for survival.

      I'm not confusing squat… the only thing you've managed to demonstrate here is that you talk from privilege and nothing else.

        I like how even you write “entrepreneurship” in quotation marks and ad "so called", but than dismiss my point completely, that we might not be talking about the same thing. And than you get personal for no reason. Is everything OK, buddy? You need to went some anger and frustration? I would recommend some physical activity - much better than arguing with strangers on the internet.

          That's because I view the neoliberal fetishization of "entrepreneurism" no differently than I view the garbage anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers buy into.

          but than dismiss my point completely

          Your "point" was treated in the appropriate manner - your "point" merely revolved around the choice the privileged has when it comes to employment. This makes your "point" utterly irrelevant to this discussion.

            Ah, to be a angry maximalist teenager again - sorry for bothering you, but that conversations almost feels illegal to me.

              maximalist

              I have no idea what "maximalism" is… but I sincerely doubt there's anything illegal about it.
