This ... is insane. I thought everyone agreed AB5 was written to basically target these companies.
Now it’s just disruptively regulating the labor market in random ways while also having a list of exceptions so long no one can keep track of it?
Why not just repeal this law?
- tick_tock_tick 6y agoThat would require the legislature to admit they fucked up.
- smt88 6y agoRepealing laws is much harder than passing new ones (both politically and procedurally). Depending on the law and location, you often need more votes to repeal than to pass.
- Ericson2314 6y agoWhat? Bills are patches. A patch and its inverse are both patches.
- smt88 6y agoSpecifically for California, some ballot measures are harder to change/repeal than to pass in the first place[1]. I don't think Congress can write bills that are harder to repeal, but I know some states can. There are also states that abuse their own constitutions to accomplish the same thing, for example if a supermajority is required to amend the constitution. 1. https://calmatters.org/politics/post-it/2020/10/california-amendment-threshold-proposition-22/ https://calmatters.org/politics/post-it/2020/10/california-a...
- Ericson2314 6y agoI agree with that, but still: - Bill can undo bill - Ballot measure can undo ballot measure - Constitutional amendment can undo Constitutional amendment so we still have proper inverses.
