The marketing for that prop (Uber driver shit) was extremely well funded and devised. The tilt was "I'm a gig worker and can't work X hours every week, so I need the ability to be an independent contractor to keep working." Obviously all the ads for this were from the standpoint of the drivers, as if it's what they wanted.
"Through October 29, 2020, Yes on Proposition 22 received $202.97 million, which was the most funds that an initiative campaign had ever received in California (not adjusted for inflation). Uber contributed $57 million, DoorDash contributed $52 million, Lyft provided $49 million, InstaCart provided $32 million, and Postmates provided $13 million."
In contrast, labor unions against prop 22 put up a combined total of about $20 million.
The more I look at this election, the less I imagine I understand.
Good, now just apply this perspective to every position you've ever held in your entire life.
People like money, but people don't want their slave chauffers to make more than they do.
People want to make $15/hr+
They just don't give a fuck what someone else earns

Lol Krugman is such a coward. In the DN! debate with Big Dickslinger Wolff, Krugman avoided debating nearly anything by constantly agreeing with Rich
He realized PMC types don’t want to see their ideologue get blown the fuck out. Much easier for them to just see him agree with no argument and then forget about the whole thing because they didn’t have a visceral emotional reaction to it.
