    The "gig economy" is part of a shift toward higher resolution careers that has been happening for decades.

        .@paulg most people work in the gig economy because they have to, not because they want to.

        @mattmireles @paulg I agree that some people like flexibility but I think in SV, we underestimate average person's desire for work stability

        @mattmireles @paulg One way to think about the modern "gig economy" is business risk shifting from capital owners to labor

        @paulg Do you support #basicincome to help people stay afloat in the gig economy--as gig jobs are less stable, with frequent "dry periods"?

        @paulg What's fascinates me is that we have public health care and lots of public services in #Canada, we should be all over the gig economy

        @mattmireles Yes. Most freelance software devs/designers are top talent, do it by choice. High demand makes it easier.
