As one who has been labeled as self employed, not working for an institution of any kind, free wheeling it, I will attest. The level of intrusion by government, with the law to force the purchase of insurances, inspections, audits, and then the payments, I can assure you self is not possible in the long term as they have trained specialists to root out any not complying.
Unless it was more of us than them. Difficult to imagine for certain. But then escape from Stalag 17 was utterly improbable. As Dylan says: “the wheels still in spin, no telling who it is naming”. The whole true history of this planet, life on it, evolution to where we are at - all wildly, mathematically impossible. We think we are so smart and so discount serendipity.
