      Idiot SAP @dwEC83 with a mental problem: did you read the part that said “The stocks rose within minutes of a Wall Street Journal report that said California Gov. Gavin Newsom was still in talks with companies that have pushed for exemptions.”

      WITHIN MINUTES.
      The analysis is spot on. Your stupidity is holding back your rational thinking ability. You better get it checked it out.

      > Look man, the guy flipping burgers for $15 an hour isn’t worth $15 an hour

      He could make it work if he managed to flip a lot of burgers very fast in a very short amount of time. The problem is that now there’s no incentive for him to do it.

      Have you noticed how much faster service is in NYC as opposed to Seattle?

    Everyone here should drive for Uber/Lyft for a week and see how bad it is to make a living wage on those platforms after taking into account the costs.

    Most of you claiming this is a liberal agenda to pay people a fair wage probably think minimum wage and labor protections are too socialist as well.

      And as someone mentioned, I believe in most cases the contract workers for big tech companies are W2 employees of contracting firms, not actual independent contractors, though that could vary across the industry.

      Also, I believe the key part of Dynamex is that contractors cannot be performing the employers key business functions. Google's business isn't writing software, it's search and ads. If they were paying independent contractors to index websites, analyze search histories, and recommend ads to users that might be different. But really software engineers are just overhead for making those businesses run. That may be spitting hairs, but it will probably be for the courts to decide

    Where similar laws implemented the following happened: more expensive service, lower quality and considerable increase of unemployment of the population who needs the most. The idiots that approved this intend to create government dependency to keep getting votes. Dems thrive on the tragedy that is poverty, and to continue thriving, they propagate it. Bunch of f*cking parasites...
