california is about to kill ride-sharing. presumably, the catastrophic job loss will be blamed on the fact that uber and lyft were allowed to exist in the first place. “we wouldn’t have lost these jobs,” @LorenaSGonzalez will argue, “had they never been created.”

What you are saying is that Uber and Lyft will be going from non viable businesses to even less viable businesses if they have to treat drivers as employees? Either way, those "jobs" eventually disappear.

frankly too exhausting to attempt a reasonable conversation with someone so committed as you are to not understanding what's happening here

I'll take a stab at it. If the current status helped thousands of people earn income then let the market decide if that income is viable. By CA stepping on the throat of that income, it intervenes in the chain of causation. The intervention itself guarantees the failure.

UBER/LYFT are dumpster fires that would have gone the way of Webvan without so much wasted capital. CA rules would never have had to come about if unviable businesses were snuffed out earlier. Benefits/drawbacks aren't certain yet with reclassification.

Either way, these are shitty "jobs." It's too bad it has to come down to regulation to let people move on to better opportunities.

hi, asshole, my dad is an uber driver. consider not mouthing off on your privileged fucking high horse about other people’s “shitty jobs” — that by the way THEY LIKE.

Does your dad actually have to work? They lose money on every ride! More viable companies would create better paying jobs. Let them fail and people will move on to better opportunities. I'm sure your father could find another job he likes just as well with a viable biz.

the incredible fucking arrogance. my dad should get another job? because you want to be helpful, right? by forcing him to do something, with his own life, that he doesn’t want to do? newsflash: you’re the villain in this story.

It's Uber's fault. They failed him, not CA's policies.
