The barrier of entry is so low that anyone with an SLR and an instagram page thinks they can make bank. They will really feel unappreciated when they get paid tiny amounts for tons of work.

Good luck to them...

They'll all be screaming for UBI within 18 months.

All people who quit their jobs to start their own company want UBI?

What we really need are more lawyers. And politicians. Maybe throw in some more

A few years back I ditched my Hasselblad, 4X5's, and 35 mm bodies for digital.

So it goes...

Not gonna lie. I have always admired the Euro/Australian approach to work more. We Americans can grind too much at times

Turnpike Lane

We all work too much. And most of us don’t like what we do (or at least we don’t

Jay Rick

Aye. As the Euros say, they work so they can vacation; Americans vacation

Agree. Should be a 4 day work week imo.

You're not wrong. But it should be a very individual thing.

I also believe MANY would work less if they didn't need health insurance

Doogal McCougar

Hmmm, government mandated vacation days (and the inability to be fired....)....

I was more talking about the work day hours. But more vacation time for "holiday" isn't awful either.

Turnpike Lane

Yep, I work for myself and have turned down some opportunities. I'm OK if

Everyone has been brought up to believe they should be their own boss.

I think we'll see some good innovation from it as well, so there will be benefits too.

Turnpike Lane

I hope so. I just went to Noodles & Company and they are closed at 3PM

I have no problem with that. They may be wildly successful; they may flop. Either way, they don't know until they try.
