Prop 22 was passed by Lyft and Uber blackmailing a whole bunch of people at the height of Covid whose only income at the time was ridesharing. Those people are now gone, ridesharing is the race to the bottom that everybody predicted, but now we're stuck with a shitty proposition.
And what you are quite conveniently omitting is that AB5 was a reaction to a court case (and it wasn't even about ridesharing!) that sent people scrambling. AB5 wasn't great, but it would have been amended and updated because California actually has a functional legislature. Instead, Prop 22 froze the process in amber and now everybody gets the garbage fallout.
Blast Prop 22 into atoms, and AB5 can be adjusted properly.
In addition, I got tons of political crap pushed to my phone about Prop 22 by the apps and Uber and Lyft should have been fined through the nose for doing so.
But, hey, as long as you have a couple billion in cash, you get to make your own laws. Ain't "disruption" grand?
