@jonallendc: It's now ridiculous to attack Clinton for not laying out her vision. This is the most comprehensive policy outline of anyone in the campaign. (He's a reporter for Vox.)
@TheBriefing2016: Boosting middle-class wages is the greatest economic challenge of our time. Hillary's vision: http://t.co/8iTm6p5Pcu http://t.co/V2T9CPLa1r (The Briefing comes from Hillary's campaign.)

This is a biggie for me.
"Many Americans are making extra money renting out a spare room, designing websites, selling products they design themselves at home, or even driving their own car, she said at the New School.
But that sort of work comes with its own problems, she said.
This on demand or so-called gig economy is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation, but its also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future, Clinton added.
As Mashable notes, her remarks came as startups like Uber and its competitor Lyft are under mounting scrutiny for classifying drivers as independent contractors rather than part-time or full-time employees, entitled to health-care benefits, sick time and paid time off."
