If that’s the right choice for someone and lets them escape a dystopian labor system, cool! But it’s not a solution to the problem of firms scheming to deprive the vast majority of their labor of a reasonable salary and benefits. And, frankly, I find the number of recent posts celebrating labor models other than employees getting their fair share for dignified work somewhat suspicious.
“Try to be your own boss!” is no substitute for employers not being sociopaths. And not what anyone has to achieve to deserve dignity.
