@paulg Capitalism must eat the population to feed itself, and it can only achieve this by oppression, making it incompatible with #democracy

@paulg This includes worker classification issues. Flexibility is critical for SMB's and Self-Employment

@paulg the study fails to acknowledge that *any* law requiring business to protect the employee will have larger impact on smaller biz's

@paulg @pmarca 'Study is about foreign unregulated advantage harming small domestic cos. It's inapplicable to localized sharing/svc econ.
