Can a farm provide education, health care, develop new drugs, etc? No, these are systems that require a certain level of scale in order to function properly.
The whole discussion about the gig economy should be a subset of a broader discussion about low-level employment.
Minimum wage isn’t livable in many places (See this living wage calculator), and I want to say that is the main alternative to Uber-style jobs. (Full disclosure: I have no idea. Correct me as needed)
