Greylock's @simonrothman tries to rebrand 1099 economy as the "rise of the uncollared worker" http://www.forbes.com/sites/valleyvoices/2014/12/02/the-rise-of-the-uncollared-worker-and-the-future-of-the-middle-class/ …
@simonrothman the flexibility is a plus but I'm concerned about what this means in the long-term for upward mobility of these workers

@kimmaicutler@simonrothman Is it not the same upward mobility of most service work? Uber driver saves, buys two cars and rents to others. -
@kimmaicutler@simonrothman Same as opportunity for cook to open his own place, just capital outlay is lower so mobility chance is higher.
