That takes money, and it wipes out the people who do the occasional pickup for extra money. This hurts the 5% with a part time gig for extra money more than the 10% who do this full time for a living.

The worst thing about California is that a lot more things cause cancer for you than they do for people from other states; at least that’s what the labels say.../s

What you just posted is very interesting and of great importance. More Californians should know about it!
Maybe you can re-post this comment as a Vanity Post on FR,
if you ever felt like it.

May not be that great of a job, but I'll bet they have contributed a lot more to society than most lifetime demoncRat politicians have.

The solution is actually quite simple. Incorporate.

Ha...you must be joking

A simple LLC designation cost minimum tax of $800 a year in CA

Incorporation is more complex and CPA advised

Better just learn to code.

The elephant in the room that has not weighed in on this yet are Tech contractors. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Amazon all have contingent workforces that are often equal in size to their direct staff. I know … I am one. If I were limited to producing only 25 deliverables for a customer, I know some customers that I could only work for about 1 month/year. If this is applied to tech contractors, imagine massive wailing and gnashing of teeth from Big Tech.

Yeah. Way screwy, Way unfair. But it has never really been about fairness but about attempting to legislate results. It reminds me of Dingus Moore on Monty Python. A Robin Hood character who steals from the rich and gives to the poor until the poor are rich and the rich are poor and he has to reverse the whole thing.

She wrote the law to create unionized work, which in turn will kill majors parts of several industries. Democrats have become the very animals the Classical Liberals protested hard against, in fact even worse than they ever conceived. Todays Democrats are yesterdays Fascists

Not a half bad idea. Though I imagine it could be published online on any obscure site after a fixed period of time of exclusivity for the main publisher, where the author would earn from ad revenues off that page. On a side note, the upside for readers of news is the industry may end up hiring better talent if they can’t rely on too few of these college age freelancers.

Someone mentioned musicians. What about session musicians who are hired for gigs or recordings? Sometimes they will do 35 takes just for a single song - does each take count as a submission?
