Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy'
SonicSpike writes with an excerpt from Marketwatch that says at least one major candidate in the 2016 electoral fight has made the "sharing economy" epitomized by Uber and Airbnb a campaign issue. In a major campaign speech in New York City, the former secretary of state didn't mention the ride-sharing service by name. But it was pretty clear what sort of companies she was talking about when she got to how some Americans earn money. "Many Americans are making extra money renting out a spare room, designing websites, selling products they design themselves at home, or even driving their own car," she said at the New School. But that sort of work comes with its own problems, she said. "This 'on demand' or so-called 'gig economy' ... is raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future," Clinton added.
While the house beast probably knows a thing or two about Benghazi. She has no clue about economics or WORK!
She is worried about the damage this can cause to the tax base. After all, the little guy needs to pay deep taxes so she can keep bribing her voters-for-hire with monthly welfare checks.
"It's ironic someone who has been driven around in a limo for the past 30 years is giving ride sharing advice.
Hillary Clinton just chided the sharing-economy which is boosted by services such as Lyft, Uber, and Airbnb. We must advocate for innovation and disruption and need to support increased choice which leads to lower prices for all Americans."
"at least one major candidate"
Well, the Republican candidates are not so versed in operating the series of tubes.
They have their church-app and an online bible and that's it.
Hillary Clinton knows precisely squat about how people make an honest living. She gets paid because her cronies are hedging their bets in case she wins the election.
