The California assemblywoman who introduced AB5 assumes that a a VP at a VC fund (@micsolana) is somehow a billionaire.
that our elected officials who wield tremendous power lack such basic understanding of how things work.https://twitter.com/LorenaSGonzalez/status/1332846370290503680 …

While she clearly does not know that a VP at a VC fund is not a billionaire, her points on income inequality are valid and widening such inequality promotes populists (do we have one in 'merica). Tech needs to introspect and offer solutions.
the solution is legislators who aren’t clearly insane. i write a lot about this!

Calling them insane is not conducive to seeing each other’s perspective. What happened to trying to be helpful? And I don’t mean the running irony the VC aren’t helpful. I mean at a human level genuinely being helping someone understand something outside of their scope.

Politics requires posturing. So any kind of help can’t be in public. It needs to be behind closed door.

I know
@balajis, whom I respect and follow liked this response. So I gave this response more thought. Having grown in a political household (in India), I can say@micsolana response is problematic and the reason populists win. -
At the same time, I understand that he is just sharing his frustration at the situation and responding to political posturing.
