Much of the gig economy is very low pay.

That would be my first impression.

What they're really saying is it will be a part-time worker economy for average people and a gig economy for highly skilled and talented people.

Average people (i.e., most of us) will be screwed.

If you get screwed, it will be because you screwed yourself by not establishing yourself in any niche of life.

It will be a fulltime gig economy for those who want to work and have a reputation for working. Mexican immigrants have a reputation for wanting to work and actually working. That reputation accurately describes most, but not all of them. The bad apples benefit from the reputation of the good workers.

Blacks have the reputation/stereotype of not working and not wanting to work. That is true of a highly visible minority of Blacks. The good Black workers don’t protest, don’t have time for ego trips on ESPN or wherever. The good are hurt big time by the stereotype.

Individualism is the answer. A man should be judge by the content of his character, and the content of his work, and not by the mis-behavior of others for whom he is not responsible.
