> It's pretty terrible when people on HN pine for the days of less developed countries (no worker protections, no labor/safety regulations).
The Developed World can not continue with it's standard of living, it's simply not sustainable. Something has to give.
The way I see it, services like Uber and airbnb can slowly chip it down to something sustainable, or we can hold onto it until the bitter end when it all comes crashing down.
Also, just because a job is offered with no worker protections, no labor/safety regulations etc, it doesn't mean a person has to take it. People vote through their actions.
