- Why so we can go back to political carveouts of AB5?

- Why are you ok with only these freelancers being allowed in California? "Recording arts, music, performing arts. landscape architecture, translation of documents, copy editing and illustrations, registered professional forestry real estate appraising ,home inspections , insurance underwriting inspections, auditing, and risk management and loss control, manufactured housing sales, international and cultural exchange services, competition judging, digital content and feedback aggregation, master class performance." https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/ab2257-not-much-better-tha...

So you are ok with California government deciding who can and can't be a freelancer?

I think AB5 was/is bad news as well but prop 22 shifted the calculus badly against people who have little control over their sources of income. I feel you are arguing from a false dichotomy.

Are you OK with special-interest legislation effectively rewriting the constitution to support their business model?

Do you really believe it has to be one or the other?

I’m happy throwing Prop 22 in the trash after AB5.

Unfortunately, it seems that it does have to be one or the other. AB5 was itself special-interest legislation, with a huge list of exemptions to support the Assembly's favored business models.

Looks like they've already lost- https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/03/ca-supreme-court-denies-la...

They can try to re-file in a lower court.
