“In short, millions of Americans are turning to app-based gig work because pensions, unemployment benefits, and welfare are so minimal they don’t cover the basic costs of existence.” | @Jalopnik @A_W_Gordon https://t.co/gcB5ALm6CX

Basically, the gig economy is not compatible with an adequate social safety net and humane work-life balance. Uber, Postmates et al are subtly, but explicitly, positioning their services as a new kind of safety net. https://t.co/k2XvFeEFIZ

A recent lawsuit filed by Uber in CA lays out a grim vision of the US economy, where "parents can’t be present for their children, young people can’t pursue their career goals, without literally working for themselves for less money and no benefits." https://t.co/9QOVpGDqRK

Uber and Postmates sued to block California's AB5. But in defending why the gig economy is good, they accidentally told a profound tale of American misery. https://t.co/k2XvFeEFIZ

Uber's strategy for fighting the new CA law classifying their drivers as employees:
1) Argue that the law actually doesn't apply, because they are just a platform
2) Argue that, if it does apply, it violates equal protection
3) Overturn it by ballot.https://t.co/vPIwRmlgE7

$UBER $LYFT Worker reclassification could spike Uber’s expenses by 20% if it were to take effect. A Barclays analysis suggested that the law might cost Uber and Lyft over $3,500 per California driver—more than $250m for Lyft and $500m for Uber per year. https://t.co/ifoZ63loSA

You're not a Democrat anymore, you are actively working with Republicans in California to squash working people.https://t.co/3zBWVraYwJ
