California wages war on workers

The Democrats who run California passed a bill, AB 5, which was purportedly designed to prevent companies from exploiting workers.

However it's so vague and draconian that all sorts of companies are firing contract workers left and right. It's just easier to stop contracting with people than to figure out if keeping them on is legal.

For example Vox Media is consolidating hundreds of free lance sports reporting jobs into a few paid full time or part time positions.

Essentially this is a war on people's right to decide if they're being acceptably compensated.  Democrats hate the idea that Uber and Lyft drivers think that they're making enough money for what they do when they're making a lot less than a professional cab driver.

But for some people the flexibility of a contracting job is a key benefit which is more important to them than a higher pay rate. The ability to work or not work without having it cleared by a boss is critical to people who care for others, like mothers and caregivers, but who aren't in desperate need of more money.

Democrats believe that they are all wise and that they should decide for us what we're willing to work for.  This is just one more example of how they're wrong; that in a country of 330,000,000 people one cookie cutter solution doesn't fit all people's needs.
