What started as a way to grab more income taxes is now a higher rate of unemployment.
When the electorate is stupid, it votes for stupid. With the exodus of conservatives from California, the idiot politicians are guaranteed jobs for life. They’ll continue even after they run out of other people‘s money.
It’s a plus. Didn’t Nancy Pelosi once said (circa 2010) that unemployment aid is the engine that drives the economy?
Legislators have this bizarre idea that when they pass a law governing people’s behaviour, those people will continue to do exactly the same thing as before except to follow the new law.
That rarely happens. If the minimum wage undergoes a dramatic hike, for example, employers don’t just increase workers’ wages and leave it at that. They reduce staff needs by reducing customer service, bringing in labour-saving technology, or outsourcing services they formerly handled themselves. In short, they take steps to reduce the costs of the new law, often in ways the legislators did not foresee.
The same mentality that thinks regulating marijuana so that no legal entity can compete with the free (“illicit”) market will somehow eliminate the free (“illicit”) market is now doing the same thing to destroy advantages of competitors of the over-regulated taxis business with collateral damage as unforeseen consequences. Rent seeker plus politician equals endless regulation. Not unique to California BTW although most insanity starts there.
Typical result of Socialist Idiocy.
No clue whatsoever of how the market works nor any willingness to even try to understand – blinded by Ideology, steadfast in their Nazi like obediance.
This new law is as dumb (and has the same effect), as mandatory minimum wage here in Alberta of 15/hr.
Kalifornia: where one can shoplift at will, legally defecate & Urinate on the streets. Yet should one have the audacity to eat a sandwich on public Transportation…? Off with yer head.
ha ha ha!!

politishuns are famous for that.
On one hand, job losses are usually bad.
On the other hand, large numbers of liberal degree grads finding out that plagiarizing Wikipedia or re-writing press releases to churn out click-bait isn’t really “a writing career”. Or rather, supply and demand meets value minus government intervention.

Funny how tenths of cents can look like a large gain when you call it a per centage…
OH THE HORROR, HOW WILL THE POOR SOY LATTE POWERED JOURNALISTS AFFORD THEIR STARBUCKS NOW?
Oh wait I don’t care
I was trying to work up a tear for the poor unemployed darlings but I dug deep and came up dry.
Live by the tax, die by the tax.
I think this began as more of a increase union membership thing than anything else. Ie Force Uber drivers to work for a unionized cab company. In any case, if a bunch of lefty journalists at Vox lose their jobs, it’s all good.
“Vox Media will end contracts with about 200 people,,,,,,,, and replace them with 20 new part-time and full-time staffers,,”
“AB 5, which was signed into law in September, aims to reduce the number of workers being wrongly classified as independent contractors rather than employees, allowing companies to skirt worker protections such as health insurance benefits and paid sick days.”
translation: Vox to terminate 200 jobs….and replace them with 19 part-time jobs….and maybe 1 full time job
Proving once again leftists are so enamored of their own intellectual awesomeness that they can’t suss out the first order effects of their brilliant brain farts, let alone second and third order effects. Progressivism truly is degeneracy wrapped in a cloak of false virtue.
These Lefty writers are about to come face to face with the hard truth that in the Trump economy it’s easy to find a job.
However it may be that the market for Leftist propaganda is already gorged with propaganda very few readers want to consume so writing may not be what they are employed doing in 2020.
Liberals have always struggled with the concept of cause and effect.
Bernie and the speed bag.
So the 200 California sugar babies who styled themselves “freelancers” to earn pin money under the table will be replaced by 20 full-time employees, who will actually be paid a living wage. The taxes they will pay on their new incomes will fill the coffers of less badly governed states.
Everybody wins.
Or nobody wins. Forcing independent and flexible contractors to become part of a full time, likely toxic bureaucracy, of a dying institution made less competitive in the process, yes , that’s the ticket.
Oh, come on. Do you really think they needed 200 trophy wives to comment on last night’s scores for games played by teams based far away from California and whose games the trophy wives probably never attended? Even 20 is probably too many.
Vox’s real problem is that men who know anything about the games they analyze are being driven out of sports journalism for being insufficiently woke. (Ask Don Cherry.) At best, the trophy wives were subsidizing a business that has gotten woke and is going broke, and would be without AB5.
Well, I guess the could all “learn to code”
When they achieve the Communist’s State they will all work Free,, Early results
