Who Is an Employee?

This is one of the changes upsetting the status quo.

We are awash in change these days. Everything seems to be in a Humpty Dumpty physical state. What was, is no more and there are more changes coming. Much of this is driven by technology, as is this story in Governing magazine, Who’s an Employee? The Uber-Important Question of Today’s Economy

All of this change has upset the apple cart here in the United States and I'd add England to the list. People are feeling a sense of loss. All of this comes before a disaster — when many do suffer loss. Thus, folks don't have a sense of well-being before everything has fallen apart in a disaster scenario where they lose property and perhaps loved ones.
