The precariat is good for employers because it provides a more-exploitable labor pool. Student loan debt and the US health care system also force people to scramble for jobs.

The commons will need to provide, not just allow.

Student loan debt effectively mortgages future knowledge production. Nature of repayment conditions workers to need regular remuneration characteristic of business-employee model. Healthcare works similarly.

But interesting.
