Recently I had a professional handy man do work in my home. After paying him through my bank app, I asked him how he was going to handle the new IRS $600 regulation.

He looked at me and said, "What do you mean?" He had no idea of what I was talking about. Said he had not heard about it. ????

One would think that someone who's whole income is based on gig employment would be on top of this new regulation and how to mitigate the issues.

How do people go through life so asleep about things that directly affect them?
