What a trainwreck.
Because that has always worked well.
It seems "independent contractor" is the way to ignore most of the important changes in worker conditions. It is rarely better for the worker and in the current conditions its also definitely worse for the general public.
Having government health care still doesnt help with sick leave and people not being able to afford to take time off work, so you have sick and potentially infectious people working because they cant afford not to.
Wallace won that debate. The man was a fucking boss.
Wallace won the debate? To steal a joke I saw on Twitter, I've seen referees in Wrestlemania cage matches maintain better control.
##It's kind of funny how well the Star Wars prequels map into US politics for the last 4 years. In case you don't remember the main plot points:
-Conflict starts due to a trade dispute between Naboo and the Trade Federation (NAFTA)
-Palpatine becomes Supreme Chancellor promising that he will make the Senate functional again (Drain the swamp)
-He systematically mines democracy by concentrating power on himself, with the support of most senators. (Jar Jar Binks as Mitch McConnell in SW universe)
-He mobilizes an army of supporters to destroy his opposition, alleging that they were planning a coup against the government.

It comes down to who pays for it, right?
For ordinary citizens, staying home without pay can be a problem.
It could be a problem for a business too.
Only governments could be the last to go bankrupt... so I think the burden should be bear on governments rather than businesses.
If driving for Uber sucks, then more and more folks should stop doing it unless Uber pays more. If our economy has no more real jobs other than gigs like Uber driver, then I’m not sure we’ll be able fix that screwed up economy by asking Uber to hire only direct employees and forcing them to pay living wages...
Anyway, I just think it’s wrong to interfere with a business like that. If the business model is just wrong/unethical, then don’t let them start it or just shut them down. Don’t try to tell them how they should run their businesses. Particularly doing this in 2020.
Actually, upon closer examination, I think I misunderstood prop22, yes vote means leave Uber alone. No vote means they don’t get this independent contractor exemption, either hire direct or leave CA, stop fighting the court ruling! This prop is actually sponsored by uber!
So anyway, if CA is really willing to risk losing Uber, so be it, I will stay out of this fight by voting no and see how this plays out. Fundamentally, I still don’t believe in government interfering unless it’s to stop wrongdoing, but I also don’t want to give Uber my vote of support either. If CA truly believes Uber is wrong and acting accordingly, I can respect that, but not sure if I agree with that though.

It's becoming more clear to me why Trump hated mail in ballots....he doesn't want people to vote remotely, he wants people to be intimated out of voting at the polling places by his "army" being recruited right now with help from crackhead Don Jr.
