For the poor un-mobile people living in CA, I'm not certain of what CAN be done. But for an aspiring contractor or musician or trucker, moving to CA sounds ill-advised.
AB 5 is an unmitigated disaster. I hope it wakes up a lot of people in the most ignorant state in America.
The good news in this latest act of liberal political lunacy is that the legal experts say there will be years of court battles over the enforcement of AB 5, which has been accused, correctly, of being “irrational, vague and incoherent,” not to mention unconstitutional.

Another Democrat jobs program for lawyers.
Gee....and I was wondering why I left my beautiful but politically inept state. Who is going to be first to inter a state mini revolution, California or Virginia?
Have you seen reports about the new water rationing law that will fine Californians a grand for using too much water?
Humorously: I note that it is only for indoor water use which makes sense if you realize that no watered lawns means a collapsed demand for lawn services and, as the Left is depending on Illegal Aliens to grow their power, they cannot risk any going home because work has dried up.
Highest bidders always gets laws passed in California (Cook County west).
And to start collecting payroll taxes for all those newly-minted employees.
Unionization (more $$$ union dues) and taxes (more $$$ from employers) is what AB 5 is about. Yet another liberal screwing dressed up as "helping".
I'm a transcriber contractor and have lost one of my clients, who will now hire ALL her transcribers from out of state. There is no way she could or would hire a single transcriber as an employee due to the nature of the business. Work is project based. When it comes in, it's divvied up and completed. Then you wait for the next project. A transcriber "employee" would be sitting around twiddling thumbs doing nothing, on the clock, waiting for the next project. Completely undoable.
Not just Uber but all of the shuttle services at LAX, Ontario, John Wayne, etc. have shut down. Your choice is to rent a car or take a very expensive taxi. This stupid law will now put more cars on the street and jack up rental prices.
That should be one of the many key issues in California’s state legislative offices for 2020 beside Trump.
Good news...graphic artists are exempt.
If the truckers would shut down Amazon in California, it would get some attention. But now being able to get an Uber to bar hop will sway a lot more young voters.
“...but in the long run, it’s probably going take a U.S. Supreme Court decision to undo all its predictably bad...”
I love how many people still think going to law is a remedy against a party that laughs at any law it doesn’t like. Yeah, go get the supreme Court on it...
California and Virginia should both figure prominently in Trump 2020 campaign ads.
This is life under democrap dictatorships.
