You think #AB5 is bad? They’re coming for the rest of you - Murray, Brown, DeLauro Introduce Landmark Bill Expanding Labor Laws to Protect Workers help.senate.gov/ranking/newsro…
Who’s endorsing this, you ask? “The bill has been endorsed by: the National Employment Law Project (NELP), the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).” Elections have consequences. #ab5 #proact
You can kiss being a freelancer goodbye for evaaaah. That flexibility you love? GONE! “The bill will create a new standard where workers are always presumed to be employees.”
“The bill will also create a strong “ABC” test.” - This is the very core of what has obliterated the independent contractor in California with #AB5. It is nearly impossible to meet the ABC test, especially the B part.
I’ve never seen a group of ppl so intent in gutting small businesses. “RIGHT TO KEEP FLEXIBILITY.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Any covered employee of an employer has the right to maintain the same schedule and scheduling flexibility that the covered employee possessed at any time...”
I mean, what you want with all these demands is to work for yourself! - “RIGHT TO REQUEST.—An employee shall
have the right to request to have the schedule that the employee desires, including—
‘‘(A) the number of shifts or other units of work per day or week;
‘‘(B) the number of hours of work per day; ‘‘(C) the number of days of work per week; ‘‘(D) the location where the employee per-
forms the work; and
‘‘(E) any unpaid time off the employee de-
sires to take.”
You guys seriously need to read this garbage. Not only does it destroy independent contractors nationwide, it really holds small businesses hostage to insane employee demands. It will destroy small businesses. #ab5 #proact help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING RIGHT TO FLEX—Any person who violates sec 8 shall be subject to a civil penalty, for each employee aggrieved by violation and for each day in which the employer is in such violation, of—‘‘(A) $1,000; or ‘‘(B) if the violation is repeated or willful, $5,000
So if you’re an employer and you don’t let your employees come and go as they please, get ready to pay big fines!
Don’t be distracted by the noise of what’s going on right now. THIS is what they’re pushing while you’re not looking. This will forever change the way we work in America.
They’re betting on a win in November. The #PROAct already passed in the House. They’re setting things up in the senate with this bill. And with @JoeBiden publicly supporting PROAct and #AB5, you can kiss your side hustle and small business goodbye if Joe wins.

And now I’m asking you guys for prayers. This baby that was in that belly is now two and a half years old and is battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She’s a little fighter and is doing well given her circumstances. Pray for healing. Thank you.
Just know that I’m working even harder for @StJude this next year so get ready.
And one last update, they had their second baby a couple of months ago, right around the time of the diagnosis for their 2 year old. They’ve been in complete isolation to keep the kids out of harm’s way during treatment.

We're supposed to be winners, not 22nd place. You can't let me and @politicsofamy be anything less than 1st place. Don't you hate pediatric cancer?! We're going to be walking and live tweeting our walk/hike on Sept 26th. Maybe even video. Click the link! fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Walk/W… Image
Now it got interesting! @politicsofamy
@StJude #giveusthemoney Image
Who's going to reach $1000 first? I would like to think that my followers are more giving and hate cancer a lot more than @politicsofamy's followers. Prove me right! fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Walk/W… Image

We're not taking care of our environment when we allow the conditions to get so bad that any little thing sets off fires the way we're seeing now. THAT is irresponsible. And jamming people into cities ain't happening. No everyone wants to live like sardines.
This notion that I have to live in a dense city with these psychos to save the environment is laughable. The carbon footprint ur leaving by cementing over everything is insane! But soooo progressive. I can do better than that by living away from everyone and live off the land.
I can guarantee you that I'm doing more for the environment on a personal level than any of these holier than thou earth worshippers do. I brew my own coffee, cook at home every day, do not use disposable plates, utensils, have worked from home for 15 years, the list goes on.

I finally got the opportunity to visit the 911 memorial last December.

Like so many people, I remember the exact moment when this tragedy struck. I was an over the road truck driver at the time and had just returned to California from a trip. Image
I was staying with my parents while in town and was sound asleep when my dad started pounding on my door screaming that we were under attack. It was such a confusing thing to wake up to. What did that mean? Under attack? Here? How?
I ran out of the room into the kitchen and watched in horror as people leapt from buildings trying to escape. That has never left me.

Last Dec while in NYC on business, I took the train to the memorial & spent some time reflecting on the magnitude of what this place represents.
