The article starts by equating temporary pandemic lockdowns with an encroachment on fundamental rights:
> Is it just me, or are there business owners who want to open, and customers that want to get the hell out of their homes and pay for goods and services, who are primarily driving the pushback against a state that’s encroaching on our rights?
It then goes on to imply that the "sharing economy" is somehow anti-capitalism. Which is very weird because the "sharing economy" seems to be primarily about eroding worker rights in order to extract more profits.
The overall point seems to be that capitalism is the thing that will save us from... capitalism?
