More economic illiteracy and totalitarianism

In February 2020 the US economy was strong, the border was sort of defended and American private sector wages were rising at a record pace and we had record minority low employment. Then leftards decided to destroy the economy and did so leaving tens of millions unemployed. Now, they want to regulate tens of millions of free lance jobs out of existence. The massive overhead of treating independent contractors as employees will result in the elimination of those jobs. AOC learned all about how government regulations create jobs when she got her degree in economics. Geezus.

With the rise of gig economy jobs such as driving for Uber and other forms of independent work enabled by the digital era, more than 57 million Americans now work as freelancers in some capacity. But President Biden just endorsed a radical labor law that endangers their livelihood.
House Democrats recently reintroduced the PRO Act, which, among many sweeping reforms, would make many commonplace forms of independent contractor (freelance) arrangements illegal. It’s based on a California law that was so dysfunctional even voters in the very blue state voted to change it.
“The Administration strongly encourages the House to pass [the PRO Act] and looks forward to working with the Congress to enact this critical legislation that safeguards workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively,” the White House said in a statement on Monday. “The PRO Act will strengthen our democracy and advance dignity in the workplace.”
Far from “advancing dignity,” in reality, this law would strip millions of their income.

The “independent contractor” dodge is especially pervasive. It needs reform and clarification. You could critique any bill on whether it accomplishes those goals, but this just your trademark grumpy old man rant.

Why aren't lawyer's in a union?
rhetorical
We fought a decade long battle with the state of washington on independent contractors and won. I always let the union reps talk to our crews and they always told the union to fuck off. 100K a year in the 80's
Or 17 bucks an hour with hours regulated. Tough call
Yeah you had to work hard and buy your own insurance but Obamacare wasn't in effect so not a big deal
Point is the people decided and knew what was best for them when the state wanted to slash their pay
Uber drivers in Cali voted this shit down. Unions are worthless unless your a public leech. If they weren't people would join them

The Throbber is still going to claim that as the "you're a dumb motherfucker' baseline.
