Thai government aims to create a welfare system for freelancers or self-employed people such as tour guides, Grab drivers, content creators (YouTubers, TikTokers), and sex workers (those working in the sex trade).... 

... As far as social benefits for freelancers are concerned, initial discussions have taken place with the SWING foundation, particularly with regard to sex workers.

Very interesting, in the 30+ years I've been flitting in and out of Thailand, this could be seen as genuine social change for the better.

I wouldn’t describe YouTubers and TicTokes as freelance worker, but Sex workers and tour guide are.

Freelance comes form the days when men who were not affiliated to one ruler (Free) offered their fighting skills (Lance) to the highest bidder.

Basically a freelancer offers a service without an overlord which someone is prepared to pay for, albeit sex work, tour guide, Engineer and so on. I don’t class YouTubers and TikTokers as providing a service

There were many years I was not affiliated with any one particular “ruler” and offered my “Lance” to the lowest bidder…

I don't even consider them socially relevant and the followers enabling them to exist equally irrelevant.

Would that be something with Caitlyn in mind :cover:

I made one with an Indonesian girl who worked at the coffee shop near a building site I was on. Walked in a few days later to order a coffee and there she was watching it on her phone with her co-workers. I still have a copy of it somewhere.
