actually it does affect gardeners too. I own a small landscaping business and most of my work was funneled from my company to gig independent contractors who would fulfill my landscape designs.

also most designers are also hired as gig workers so your response seems ignorant and you just seem to be fishing for an argument lol

I'm just saying it applies to all industries. in CA all jobs under $500 don't require any type of license.

lots of legal immigrants are starting off with small "gig" style janitorial services where they are independent contractors to make money.

it hurts everyone. not just on a corporate level.

lots of landscapers starting off write themselves off as independent contractors so they can incorporate properly and pay taxes instead of working under the table

I know lots of CPAs/Lawyers that also get hired through gig/independent work that got screwed by this

it doesn't affect you as an employer but if its a b2b transaction or.if you're the one receiving the 1099 youre still affected by it. not everyone has the luxury to be a small biz owner. a lot of small fish are hurt with the new law. across all different industries

doesn't really matter who you do and don't support. who you think this affects. the fact is that freedoms are being taken away from people who got lumped into the "gig" category. Also, you might be a little more liberal than you think with how smug you are lol

Uber bent the knee to BLM and has done discriminatory things like offer free deliveries for black owned restaurants.

They shit their bed, let them lie in it.

It's almost to the point where only an armed uprising will dislodge the corruption endemic in Sacramento.

Yup they fully support their progressive overlords and I bet they keep their headquarters there after this decision.

As I have said for awhile, they aren't doing these things because they are 'stupid leftists'. Oh the useful idiots on the ground are. But their masters are doing this, including the rioting, to push their voters out to red areas where they will still vote blue. They have the blue vote locked in their shitholes and they know it.

There was an emergency appeal that was granted by another judge before this went into play here. They will be ruling on this Oct.

All I feel is glee. Enjoy the world your democrat rulers have made for you.

Does this include temp. vineyard workers also? Nancy? Newsome? Y'all have those, right?

I would agree but. 1) Californians are now leaving the state and bringing their shit politics with them 2) CA and NY are big enough and liberal enough that the precedents set in their courtrooms bleed out into the rest of country. The shithole policies of commiedornia become the templates for wannabe authoritarians in the other 49 states.

Edit: fixed spelling.

Yeah, aware of that and it is frustrating as shit to realize how this nonsense metastasizes to the rest of our great country.

I try to take pleasure in their fuck ups when I can, tho.

And what about grape pickers? Are they also affected by this law? Or will Pelosi and Newsome be able to enjoy their temporary services? Will Nancy have to go out with the carpet knife herself?

Totally agree with you.

Haha Nancy on her knees! No more “undocumented contractors” Nancy!

FUUUUUUCK THEM. They supported the campaigns of the politicians which led to this. Sorry for the employees, not sorry for the company.
