Was full time with a company, benefits/vacation/sick time, all the things at 25$ an hour. Switched to independent contractor and lost all of those things. I now bill at 90$ an hour and take as much time off as I want. I work for whoever I want and I am rarely not busy. Who is stealing my wages?

Yes, because everyone is living their life through the lens of your experience. This is a spurious argument.

The assumption is rather everyone is living through the opposite side of the lens which also isn’t true. That was the point. Glad you missed it

It most certainly is not. You made that assumption. There is a wrong that needs to be righted. That doesn't mean that EVERYONE has been wronged. It's the same thinking that keeps people saying all lives matter when they hear black lives matter.

I went by the very negative stories and comment’s throughout this post and offered a different viewpoint. I actually made no assumptions, I simply gave a view point of being an independent contractor that differs from what is on here.

There is in no way any indication anywhere that EVERYONE is experiencing the same, as you are implying here.

You had your own experience, and you could have stopped your narrative before you added the above line.

I could have…but as this is a free platform I decided not to. You could have continued with your day and not replied but you decided to keep this going. We all make choices.
In my original comment I made no assumptions, I assumed you could connect those dots. My fault.
