In SF, strippers were upset about working conditions, sued, and laws were changed so that strippers are now considered employees, not independent contractors. This backfired horribly, with strip clubs cutting pay to make up for losses, and hundreds of strippers quitting. (Cont)

This feels like market entropy where everything eventually settles in the mediocre :( (dunno what's the technical term if there is one)

Regression to the mean perhaps?

Contractor or employees if the club wants to take advantage of you they can use either situation It's the club owner not the laws
-
Club owners have an incentive for strippers not to quit, and publicly spoke against the new law. The end outcome was worse for both groups.

Well ride sharing drivers are doomed if Uber and Lyft want profits.. he only way they will achieve profits and this is spelled our in their IPO materials is with self driving "robot" cars.. they have no chance at profitable company with humans..

Why would this surprise anyone? The part that IS amazing is that the very same lefties who go on about "legibility" are so frequently blind to when they're going down that same rabbit hole, insisting on "doing things the way they are done" in spite of all evidence against that.

The strippers and the drivers are not even a case of conflicting good ideas. They're a case of pure laziness, pure inertia, pure "we need to give these people NORMAL jobs even if they don't want that". People too stupid to even understand the correct Marxist view in these cases

We have decided as a country to have taxes, workers comp, sick leave, etc for employees. They were ignoring these laws and now have to change their business model. We either need all businesses to follow these rules or none. Uber and lyft have enough money to keep employee wages.

Either-or is a dying tradition. This isn't a comment on Uber.
