Wow, that’s pretty effing bad. Even many Dimms are outraged by her comments based on Twitter feedback. This is a horrible law. Only the bleeping unions like this because they think they’ll be able to unionize Uber and Lyft drivers or something. This state deserves everything that happens to it.

She has a job and is getting paid so everyone else can just shut up?

This CA senator thinks nothing of talking down to people who want to work as if they are spoiled children. Here's an image from the article:

They all think the same.

“I can’t worry about every undercapitalized business.”

I’m an independent contractor and I oppose AB5. If you want the benefits of a full-time employee get a full-time job. Don’t take away our flexibility in an attempt to make one size fit all.

I’d pay to watch that.

Trying to imagine what these independent contractors are thinking about her comment, after being beaten and economically gang raped by these people, who clearly don’t give 2 s**ts about them.

The core of leftism is the believe that there are a class of superior people. Smarter than everyone else, and of course it's them. So naturally they believe three things: (1) the world would be better off if they had total power (2) Thos who actively oppose them are inherently bad because they stand in the way of progress towards totalitarian utopia so they must be crushed and (3) ordinary people don't matter at all, they only make good cogs in the machinery and cannon fire.

To borrow a phrase from 'Game of Thrones', "The Lion doesn't concern itself with the opinions of sheep". That sums leftists pretty well.

The Commie Rats have become more and more arrogant and condescending. Not much to ask to give a little respect to people of work hard and take risks. Screw ‘em. They need to be made to eat it.

California may actually wake up one of these days and realize they have been democratic experiment gone horribly wrong. Maybe then they’ll realize it’s time to start tar and feathuring some of their State leadership.

Old ears sag bad enough with aging. Hanging lead fishing weights from them only adds to the situation.

I honestly believe that these STUPID Dems have just gone to far just as they always do I believe we will win the house back in landslide numbers I believe we will add seats to the senate!! I believe that the American people are seeing first hand what Dem rule is all about AND they don’t like it!!!

Yup. AB5 was intended as a lollipop for the unions.

She's smarter than the voters. You can just tell by looking at her.

“The sharp divisions in this country are becoming even sharper.”

I have a different view of this. All those freelancers who write for left wing outlets are most likely liberals. But they have been thrown out of work by other liberals who have demonstrated they don’t care what damage they do or to whom they do it. Will all those (including workers in states locked down in what seems an increasingly meaningless effort) continue to vote for Democrats? I suspect they are seeing the light and will hold their nose and vote for conservatives. (I am assuming there is a conservative left in California. If so, he probably wears a removable ponytail as protective coloration.)

She reminds me of the law librarian in a Streets Of SF episode who was a tad snobbish but apparently didn’t like radical (liberal) causes.

I’d prefer hanging with the librarian.

Not a single government job will be lost.
Selfish ungrateful bitches.
These people are evil. And we had best start fighting back & calling it evil.
Or we will lose the few remaining liberties we have.
