Every job is a hustle. Every service is a gig.

Want to organize your coworkers? Sorry, you’re not coworkers. You’re competitors in a contract marketplace.

This is the gigification of America.

Don’t Get Sick, It’s Not Billable

ER visits? Pay up front or sign a contract with your own terms. Docs are contractors too.

Surgeons, nurses, EMTs… all freelancers. You better have 5-star ratings and a Venmo balance.

Hospitals? Nah. Just a gig medical marketplace.

Just imagine an independent contractor only economy.

Every person is a “business of one”, complete with their own liability insurance, contracts, and tax documents.

Workers must negotiate rates for every shift, every task, every time. That barista? Submitting an invoice after each latte.
