This is just an old tired argument about the “free market” which absolutely does not exist for these folks. You’re simplifying this problem beyond recognition.

This is just an old tired argument about the “free market” which absolutely does not exist for these folks. You’re simplifying this problem beyond recognition. It’s not so simple to do any of those things. I’m not even going to argue against it’s as you can literally find every argument for and against this ruling out there, again I’m not going to waste my time educating you. There isn’t much other option for these drivers and this ruling just lets them be taken advantage of more and more.
- euos 4y agoTo me your response sounds very much like "let them eat cake". Would they be better off without any job at all if those companies did not exist?
- ok_dad 4y agoMy response was targeted towards the discussion. There are things this country badly needs but putting paper over them via laws we cannot reverse is a bad idea. Just because you have a dumpster fire out back you have to deal with doesn’t mean you should bulldoze the building, and to me the codifying of contractors like this prop does is like a bulldozer versus waiting a while for the fire dept to come in the form of better worker rights.
- euos 4y agoClarification: those people do not have choice between good and bad job. They either have a bad job or no job at all.
