I'm a rational person who changes their mind once new information comes in.

  Good! And don’t take me the wrong way, good on you for changing your opinion. But my point is to actively have empathy, and actively try to think about other people beforehand, rather than only after any damage has potentially been done. Regardless, not everyone will even learn even when confronted with new data, so again, good on you for doing that.

    Read his response (up and over) to me. He seems to have been actively driving at the time (I too misread his first post), and so it wasn't a lack of empathy but his own firsthand experiences that both led him to support, then oppose, Prop 22.

      Yes, I liked the freedom and flexibility of contract work so I supported 22, then did my taxes and found I wasn't making nearly as much money as I thought I was. I didn't mind making $6/hr when it was fun, but it became very much not fun after the pandemic got rolling because no one wanted to talk with a mask on and some passengers wouldn't wear a mask. It became a hassle.

  I think a more accurate way to put this is "I'm a rational person who only values first hand experience and not the experience of others." There are/were SO many account of people who had your EXACT same experience. I'm not sure how those didn't have any weight.

    Because a lot of drivers complaining about not making money were the same drivers who bragged about declining rides, cancelling airport runs, handing out 1 stars to passengers who didn't do exactly what the driver wanted, etc... people who should have never taken a public service job. I assumed that's why they weren't making money.
