What are you going to do now Big Tech?

It never ends no matter how much money they throw at liberal politicians and act like good inline leftists.

Fact check me on this - in California it seems that some resolutions pass, but the courts still find the “unconstitutional”.

Yes on 22.

No on everything else.

Recall Newsolini.

I thought this affected every type of contract work not protected under interstate commerce oversight (that’s commercial trucking) IT specialists, caterers, etc. all I ever see is stories about Lyft and Uber.

It does, except the high paid professions like doctors and lawyers who got their lobbyists to buy an exemption. All the rest of us who don't have lobbyists to bribe Newsom, like photographers, journalists, struggling actors, musicians, home care workers, beauticians, transcribers, etc etc., have had our jobs made illegal since January 1, 2020. And the media has been silent on this, by the way.

Again, besides killing the app-based economy, this will kill the gig-based economy.

Yes, because the unions backed it through Lorena Gonzalez in the state legislature and Newsom signed it. And like clockwork, Joe Biden is right in lockstep with stamping out freelancers. He wants AB 5 to go national with his PRO Act.

Yeah, I didn’t actually think there were any in the Bay Area, since most of the cabbies are Indian or Arab now and they definitely aren’t union.

But I don’t know about Los Angeles or SD and the original bill was carried by the odious Lorena Gonzalez so on that basis alone, I would vote for Prop 22. But my contempt for garbage like the Uber management may just convince me to abstain.
