Harold,

Thank-you for your extensive post on the 'gigging culture' of the new economy. You have highlighted a vast and troubling series of problems and challenges that are facing the vast majority of employees, trapped as they are by outdated institutions, governments, and economic structures.

While we can't easily go back, we need to move forward with an understanding that what has been created, may lead to our demise. I do believe that income inequality, and the loss of opportunities for the vast majority, will create problems sooner rather than later. We must endure a complete rebuild of how we shall then live, with a greater level of fairness and opportunity. Whether it's through taxation, societal realignment, or new structures such as a guaranteed annual income, some will need to be done to make it possible for all to live. You may not always get what you want, as the Rolling Stones sang, but you should be able to get what you need.
