Prop 22 is shaping up to be California's most expensive ballot question ever, and its outcome could upend a gig economy business model that's attracted hundreds of billions of investment dollars. https://t.co/v8mGt9jZbN

"The Chronicle erred in its endorsement of Proposition 22: It relates ride-hail driving to traditional independent contracting. It’s not. In traditional independent contracting, the “work” is a defined “task” agreed to beforehand." @zgmallett #NoOnProp22https://t.co/CAjbifx5LS
