I think this bill passing would be a good thing, because gig workers need legal protections, and in America most people are also dependent on their employer to help cover the cost of health insurance (another issue itself; healthcare should be free). I know people who are regular uber drivers in LA, and they certainly treat driving for uber like a "real" job. They try to work regular hours; they need to to be able to make rent. I believe the real issue is the distinct lack of investment in public transit infrastructure in the US. Uber and Lyft claim they're providing a valuable service. In developed nations cities build subways and bus routes to meet the needs of residents. America's philosophy seems to be to never provide a necessary service for free when somebody could be making a buck off it.
