↪ Replying to @beantin

@beantin Haha, I realized this kind of when I was writing it as well, but I wanted to see where it would take me. I’m not sure either. Perhaps I would argue that voting rights mean that the voices are not invisible in that case.

@beantin But that would have to mean equal voting rights where voting is readily accessible to all... not something you for example have to apply for.

@beantin I mean, In Sweden we removed adult rights (and hence voting rights) for many people with disabilities up until 1989. A lot of voices have been, and are, invisible in countries that are democracies on paper.

@beantin Now you really sent me down a rabbit hole reading up on direct democracy, consensus democracy, increases in income inequality, Switzerland, Norway and more... 😬

I also hadn’t realized how the US has been downgraded from a full democracy in 2016 by EIU: eiu.com/public/topical…

↪ Replying to @brownorama

@brownorama I sometimes see independent contractors list their clients as if they were employed there. LinkedIn doesn't make it obvious how to list long-term assignments.

@brownorama Sidenote: I've also found that "freelancer" carries different connotations in different cultures/countries. Everything from "Wow, you must be clever and doing really well!" to "Oh I'm sorry you couldn't get a real job." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
