Read the passage below and answer the following question.
You know what I hate? Businesses that rely on contract workers and freelancers instead of
regular employees.
Don't hit me with arguments about greater freedom for workers. Freedom isn't free if you're
bleeding out in the street.
Sound the alarm, people! Workers are suffering! No benefits means you're out of luck if you
get sick and can't do your job. Plus, studies show freelancers don't make as much money as
regular employees..
