Gig companies shouldn't take the place of a functioning welfare in a rich society, I'm glad it helped you individually but it's symptom of a much larger issue that when patched that way just hides it away into the future...

In a welfare society I would still have to convince someone I couldn’t work. Get approval, etc.

Healthcare industry is currently a mess. I have excellent coverage. Even still I couldn’t get anyone to take me seriously.

Only when organ failure started up in earnest did doctors realize I wasn’t making it up.
