Please link such an article. I have never ever received a link to one when asking this question and I always ask for one/them when I read such "accusations".
In Germany that is called "scheinselbstständig" like "bogus self-employment", a worker who is officially hired as an independent contractor/freelancer, but in reality works like a dependent employee. And that is illegal since it specifically undermines employment laws etc.
That one is actually very hard and not a simple no brainer. 50k is good but not live changing much. 10M would completely change the live, even allow one to never work again and still have a decent living standard.
If they cancel out, the system would be in balance and not get hotter. So some thing does not add up. What heat transfer coefficient did you use and which other numbers etc.?
Nuanced? The "it just repeats existing answers" is utter nonsense, no way to take that person serious.
