    I had the insanely awful idea of gigifying debt collection. I'm sure that's already a thing somehow

      Isn't that just loan sharking? Lmao with an app a giant guy named Bruno just shows up at your house and kicks your ass until you make a student loan payment.

        Yeah, that'd be it. Gig economy loan sharking feels like just the right level of depressing cyberpunk-esque reality. Like it's violent and oppressive and they'd make being a corp mook even more dehumanizing by not giving them benefits. On second thought, it'll probably be part of a private police force thing. Gig economy loan sharking would get too close to disrupting the monopoly on violence
