I hope every single person in California who voted for Prop 22 steps on a rake this morning.

Seriously — how stupid are you?
You voted for a law written by, effectively, a pair of Ponzi schemes (Uber and Lyft) that wanted taxpayers to prop them up, and in doing so you kicked the legs out from under a MUCH broader segment of the population's labor rights.

The really crazy part is that this all started because the legislature stupidly applied AB5 to a big set of tech and creative workers who weren't intended to be covered — but Prop 22 doesn't even get rid of AB5, it just exempts the workers that are *supposed* to be covered!
In terms of how stupid this all was: imagine if we discovered that the law banning child molestation also accidentally bans librarians, but instead of fixing that, we responded by passing a ballot proposition that exempts child molesters from the law.
That's basically Prop 22.
