gollark: Although yes, you probably can't have everyone run large customer facing businesses.
gollark: Approximately, sure. But with higher skilled jobs. And you could still have offices and whatnot if your contract included coming in to physically work with people.
gollark: > cuz if everyone would run a business things wouldnt go well(responding to this)

gollark: Um, very late, but stuff probably could still work fine if everyone was self-employed in some way.
