The gig economy has crept into the care economy, and the baseline exploitation and abuse of both are feeding off each other. My idea: Stop blaming disabled people for being trapped at this intersection.

There are good arguments to be made on the flaws of the gig economy. But I don't get why it's supposed to be EXTRA-bad that gig economy workers are doing tasks for disabled folks. Isn't that just an example of disabled people having equal access to services abled folks also use?

Thank you for writing this. I saw this in action a decade ago, though on a smaller scale then now.
