Isabel Serval @traversingfutures.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Gig work has always been around for lots of people, it was just cash-in-hand and now it's increasingly formalised. Lots of low-earners avoid perm contracts like the plague because it's overtaxed and they're left with too little. (A solution is a much higher personal allowance.) 100

Isabel Serval @traversingfutures.bsky.social · 17/12/2024This makes a lot of sense. To your comment on freelancers paying less tax - well, low-wage slaves are highly overtaxed and barely scraping by. That system needs fixing, this is a fix. 010
