Shocked by how many large company websites are just forever broken now. Companies no longer care if anything works.

Wondering if the attitudes of the Epstein Class contaminate the mainstream.

"Distributed income" is the new euphemism for employment precarity.

Rich folk want to only pay for labor when they need it.

The training, the logistics, the wait times, the preparation & planning -- they don't want to pay for any of it.

They ignore what happens in crisis when there's not enough talent ready to go & available in a crunch, crisis, or peak period.

From Lifetime Employment To Distributed Income

Professional stability is shifting from single-employer careers to portfolio-based models. Leaders now manage multiple roles, income streams, and networks.

So... how about a Union of Itinerant Workers (anyone in the workforce but not formally employed full-time)... I'm thinking if enough people joined it, then the union could threaten something close to a general strike if employers didn't agree to pay in enough to support basic living expenses for all members, currently employed/contracted or not -- but I'm not sure how the numbers work out.

Protections for the most vulnerable workers would be excellent!
