You most certainly can start up your own driving business any time you want . This does not stop that.

What a pathetic dodge.

People liked working for Uber as a contractor, they set their hours, Uber handled all the tech stuff.

So a single driver can create a app that replicates uber? Is that what you are saying?

Not to mention all the freelance journalists that lost their gigs because of this law.

I addressed the idea that you can no longer work for yourself. You can. It's what happens when you interject hyperbole into what might otherwise be a good argument.

You can, but not the same way as you did as an Uber driver. you also have to do mountains of paperwork to become a company, and pay all the required fees, and track all the required accounting info. Plus you don't have the uber app to get you hails.

So your pathetic attempt to say the same thing is still availible is just that, pathetic.

I said that despite the claim otherwise you can still go to work for yourself. This ruling doesn't even change anything for those working, it only does for those who they work for.

In the end you agreed with me but still feel a pressing need to argue.

Work for yourself doing what? Still not getting called for gigs as a writer? Sitting in your car with a phone number and a card hoping for hails?

You aren't comparing the same thing. People LIKED the gig economy, they liked the flexibility, now you either have to work for the company, or not be able to work the way you want to.

Laws no matter how intrusive are meant to be followed right?

Just abide by the law here and all is good.

God. Fuck you. If the law was for you to chop off your own fucking DICK, you should just shut up, and abide?

Just obey the law here and all is good, right?

That's what others have argued in other situations. It's not my argument. I'm simply repeating what I've been told.

Just obey the law and all will be fine.

Really?

This law is stupid, the people supposedly "protected" by it mostly hate it, and the best you can respond with is "just follow orders"

What a pathetic twat you are.

It's what I've learned from past discussions. The law is the law. Just follow it and all will be good.

Stop trying to be slick, it isn't working for you.

I have no belief that you and others hold some to a different standard than you do others.

It's still interesting to point it out.

Again with the attempted slick.

California has totally destroyed the gig economy in their state. You can’t be a self contractor for anything now. I’m so old I remember when people trying to feed their families was a good thing.

Can Uber terminate their contract with you? Do you have to have a contract with them?

The answer to both is yes. That means you are not a private company simply accessing their app. You are an employee.

This is the argument regular cab companies have made. You still work for Uber and have to abide by all it's rules and regulations, they just pretend you do not work for them to avoid the costs other companies have to pay out (in all states).

So you're saying Uber is going to go out of business in California because their drivers are their employees?

How stupid do you think people are?

Just because California wants to make sure all employees are protected by labor laws doesn't make California wrong or out to destroy any business.

Uber and other "gig" businesses should be liable to follow all labor laws that every other business has to follow.

It's not fair to all the other businesses that do follow labor laws.

Find something real to whine about.

It's telling people everyone will be treated equally. You can argue if you wish to an end to the regulations but I'm not sure how you can argue that some businesses should be treated differently than others.

The next victims in this latest democrat government over reach will be independent construction contractors and sub contractors.....they will end up paying double in taxes.....and then wait until your toilet clogs up...it will cost your $2000 to snake it out.....

Simple Simon would be a better Nom de plume than Weatherman2020. First of all, 2020 does not even come close to your vision and sense of reality. And I doubt any Weather Scientist (Climatologist) holds your view that humanity has not impacted our climate negatively.

That said, See:

Of course you’re clueless at how the government ordering people they can’t earn an honest living is a bad thing. Fascists love that stuff.

Argue that. Just don't argue that the government should treat one business better than the next one.
