I thought it was that Klarna thing. I just hope there's more companies that come to similar conclusions.

As long as the companies actually hire people with living wages instead of this

Now, the company says it imagines an "Uber-type of setup" to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.

Because they still don’t want to fucking pay people real wages even after realizing the value of real people

sigh...

And even that is better than outsourcing it to people from a far-away low income country.

But still, fuck the gig economy and forcing people into fake self-emplyment.

It's all so fucked up.
