    The core problem with modern employment law is that it has arbitrary categories with different tax rates, rights, etc. These sort of worked in the 70s when the rules were brought in. They haven't worked for decades. But instead of making new rules that work in a political and democratic process, we're forcing judges to decide for whole groups that they must be part of one group or the other.
