Strongly agree

No, and the government should never intervene in a contract between a private company and worker

This answer strongly aligns with a key aspect of consumerism that values minimal government intervention in the market. The belief is that the market should dictate terms based on supply and demand, and that private contracts between companies and workers should be free from government interference. This stance supports a deregulated market, which is often seen as beneficial for fostering innovation, competition, and keeping consumer prices low.

Slightly disagree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

While this answer introduces a compromise by suggesting a threshold of forty hours for employee classification, it still might lead to increased operational costs for companies, potentially affecting prices and service availability. Consumerism tends to favor models that ensure wide access and low costs, but this approach might be seen as a reasonable middle ground, hence the slightly negative score.

Disagree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the availability of goods and services and the efficiency of their delivery to consumers. Classifying gig workers as employees could increase operational costs for companies like Uber, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers or a reduction in service availability. Historically, consumerism has often favored models that keep costs low and options plentiful, even at the expense of labor protections.
