“The haters of the sharing economy are rallying around a plan for destroying the most spectacular ad innovative sector of modern economic life. The hint came from a speech by Hillary Clinton at the New School in which she suggested that current ‘contractors’ be redefined as ’employees.’ According to her, this means that the workers can then enjoy new human rights, as if by magic. Hillary’s comments amount to a cloud no bigger than a man’s hand. She was speaking for the entire cabal of special interests who dream of crushing innovation. Hillary poses as a spokesperson for the worker. What it actually means for employment is that many will be out of a job.”
