4. Very nice for "entrepreneurs"

But what about people who just want to work for a living instead of living to work? What happened to that ancient notion of eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep, and eight hours to do as you please? Between ever-increasing commute times, "on call" status for workers, "independent contractor" rip-offs, and a dozen other little bonuses for employers, new workers spend more time every day servicing their boss or their debt than ever before. Also, considering the number of start-ups that don't make it, what a lot of people will be doing in chasing this chimera is loading themselves up with even more debt.

I don't think this is a good idea.
