What a horribly dystopic conclusion. You can't bio-hack your way out of the consequences of hustle culture. Every working adult should have sufficient personal time to support their family (or start one). The fertility industry is a sy

Forcing drivers to watch the ad was a means of persuading them to support Prop 22. Hence, they were coerced to support Prop 22. Persuasion via force is exactly in line with the definition that you gave.

Drivers were forced to watch political ads before they could start working. They were forced to read pro-prop-22 messages before they could start working. Some of these messages warned (some might say threatened ) that the drivers wo
