CA Senator to Unemployed Freelancers Begging to Work: You’re Upset Because We Took Away Your “Lollipops”
Redstate ^ | 05/15/2020 | Kira Davis

Californian independent contractors and freelancers got quite a shock Thursday evening when a state senator compared lost jobs to “lollipops.”

Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson represents the 19th District in western Ventura County and Santa Barbara County. In a Senate Labor, Public Employment and Retirement meeting officials heard arguments for and against pushing forward SB 806 and SB990. The bills — put forth by Republican senators John Moorlach (R-Costa Mesa) and Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) — aimed to immediately suspend and amend the disastrous AB5 legislation that killed independent contracting/freelance jobs across the state. Moorlach and Grove have been two politicians at the forefront of pushing back against the behemoth job-killer, alongside other Republicans in the assembly, like Kevin Kiley (R-06). Even before the coronavirus caused state leaders to close businesses and end millions of jobs, hundreds of thousands of jobs across over 150 job designations had been lost overnight to the bill meant to only affect Uber and Lyft. The state was already facing massive unemployment and the bill’s author, Lorena Gonzalez (D-80), has been under fire ever since.

Blue state Freepers, consider...

Hey, I know Cali has the climate, it has everything at your disposal, bla bla bla. This is what people in coastal China tell themselves; and what HKr's know is a bill of goods...

The good thing about all this bs is that libtards are being abused too and some of them are not liking it.

Yeah, you independent WORKERS! Take That!

You work for a communist union, or you don't work at all. You force your employer to shower you with unaffordable benefits and thereby make you unhireable.

You won't play by your Communist Master's Rules? Starve and die, and take your sniveling family with you.

And don't forget to vote Commu.. er, Democratic!

You may as well add NJ to the list of states that are too far gone. I am originally from there, having left in 1988 and severed nearly all ties.
Currently two steps from being a Texas secessionist.

This Beth Jackson is a shining example of the liberal disease that seeped into, and eventually overwhelmed the governance of our once great State. It’s a damned shame.

The only resolution is to think before we vote.

Hannah-Beth Jackson is so stupid she needs to hyphenate her name to gain an identity...

She is the poster child of the mean, clipped hair, glasses wearing woman. Hyphenated last name too. I can’t believe she is doing something as feminine as wearing nail polish.

“Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson....”

She exudes the arrogance of the elite and the contempt of those ungrateful unwashed masses that she so graciously rules over.
