The list of organizations that support it is bizarre.

Likewise MADD who also endorsed it. The airwaves have been flooded with Yes on 22 ads. Most of the ads claim this is what the drivers want, which is bullshit.

I suspect their service is going to be harder and harder to get in some areas. I know they aren't the best for their drivers, but being a good Democrat, I've always tipped very well. Even still, they cost less than a cab. I love chatting with my Uber/Lyft drivers. Interesting stories! The gig economy is a good thing, for the most part.

Is it? You can't form a union, you have no benefits, social security and medicare aren't withheld. I'd like to hear the pro gig economy argument.

He works (Uber) when he wants and doesn't when he doesn't want to. Lots of his tips are in cash. He's gotten a few customers who contact him directly when they need a ride...meaning they bypass the app and giving up a cut of the fee. He met a gent who owns his own biz who needed a right-hand man to do odd jobs while allowing him to drive for Uber when he needed.

Everyone doesn't see a union as the ultimate arrangement. I worked for a sawmill several years ago and declined to pay dues to the union. I was seen as a pariah by many. The $38 per paycheck was more useful to me than the union.

I am concerned my nephew is not paying into SS and Medicare. That could bite him in the ass in the long run. But, he's a saver. And based on my advice, he's gotten catastrophic coverage with Farm Bureau.

I didn't realize there were anti-union Democrats. Is he reporting all his earnings? That's what pays for the roads he uses to do his job...

However, he buys gasoline at gas stations. According to Google, he pays over $.80 per gallon in tax. To me, that's not insignificant.

I was a freelance illustrator since they don't have full time jobs and it sucked! No benefits, busted my ass for pennies, wasted my time. I was stuck in part time jobs for years and years to supplement my art income. When I went back to college to earn a second degree I said, "it must be in a career that has a union" and I did. That teachers' union was weak but it literally saved my life when my building made us all sick. You can't live on a gig income, especially when it comes to health insur. and rent.

And would probably end of spending less money.
