Even more 'choose' gig shit-work because that's all that was available.

And sure, homelessness, hunger, and low/no medical is a "choice", its not a choice we make lightly.

So worse is better than homeless. And people are stratified out of even the working class.

This is complete nonsense. There's no shortage of low still, low wage jobs - most of which would pay better in the longrun, have opportunities for advancement, and so on.

But they don't come with the freedom that gig jobs do which is their primary appeal.
