“Governments are going to actively crack down on the gig economy and essentially people who are doing side jobs or they're stringing together multiple side jobs in order to either make a living or make extra money on the side, those type of people I think the governments are gonna look at those and say, well, not only are they very high at risk for getting COVID or other things, I think the problem that the government's gonna look at and see is that those people don't have any healthcare or health insurance or have low access to it, and they're not treated well, they're not paid well, and therefore need to be protected. So I think that the governments are gonna crack down on those things and put legislation and regulations in place and not just talk about it. They've talked about it before. They've tried to do things in, you know, like the California state government has tried to do things, but no one's ever really made a concerted effort, and I think that this year is going to be the year that they do that.”
