Andrew Heaton Explains How California's AB5 Law Crushes Freelancers 

Lol

👍

I do not believe most laws are "well meaning" nor do I believe they are usually from decent people.

@@DCBChump Well, your beliefs are not necessarily fact. Thank you for playing; Carol, please present the contestant with a version of the home game!

The government would probably press charges for "slander" or some other trumped up charge.

?

My guess is many things "baffle" you.

A lot of freelancers did very well until government messed it up

She just resigned to take a job running the California Labor Federation.

Could you put some logic and fact behind that rant, please?

@@harvey3rdman464 Google Pacific Legal Foundation, this isn't hard to do.

@@theterminaldave Burden of proof is always on the accuser. I'm not doing your work for you. *Take responsibility!*

@@harvey3rdman464 Lol do you think i just go around on youtube accusing random channels of being in bed with the Kochs? Why, why would someone do that? if people cant do a simple google search for the GPL, nothing I say is going to convince them here on this obvious corporate propaganda channel. And let's be honest, you know what this is channel is about. I hope you're getting paid to do this.

His entire argument is supported by objective data regarding the real world outcomes of AB5. Maybe you should have paid more attention?

"Demand is not linked to supply for anything other than the basic items required to live " I don't know what you mean by this but whatever you mean you're wrong. Supply is not "linked" to demand for anything, they interact to create a market price. They are not "linked". In any case demand works the same for "basic items" whatever you think that means and for everything else. "For everything else demand is an emotion," No, demand is a function describing how much of a thing will be bought at a particular price, which is partially determined by emotions but is not an emotion itself. "and supply is a physical state. " No, again supply is a function describing how much of a thing will be sold at a particular price. This is partially determined by physical states but not a physical state itself. The physical state may be identical but the supply completely different Consider the supply of copper before and after war or sanctions are announced. Those with stockpiles will know that these will be highly desired soon, whereas before they did not know this. So they will not sell for the same price. "You can raise the price of an product without changing the supply or demand for product. " Do you mean without changing the amount supplied or demanded? Because otherwise yes, what you say is true but nothing else you say follows from it. "" The consumers of that product will just spend less on other products and services. You really don't know how the consumers will behave without running a testing. " Do you believe that every single consumer and producer will continue to buy or sell the same amount after a price change? Because if you don't we do know how consumers will behave without a testing. As a whole they will buy less if the price goes up "Maybe if Uber raised its price workers would get paid more and customers would buy less junk food or drugs to make up the difference in their budget... it could happen, but only testing it will give us any real insight." All of them? Every single customer would buy less junk food or drugs? Do you really think that we need to test to see if that happens? Or should be go on what happened every other time prices rose or fell since before Rome?

I grew up in a house of 11 people, and most of them foster kids. Almost failed out of high school, and didn't go to college. Then, I started my career in a warehouse and worked my ass off having two jobs at a time and studying on my downtime into my 30's. Managed to learn software engineering and got in with one of the largest financial companies in the world. Saved them three million in my first year on the job by pulling off a project multiple enior people failed at. Then, I helped enginner and industry it platform that saved 15 million a year. During that time, my wife and I went from hundreds of thousands in debt to 7 figures positive. Yes, I'm also book smart.

@@newperve Thank goodness. I was poised to break that down sentence by sentence as you did. You saved me a lot of investigative work! Now...where's my 'Pyramid Patchouli'?

@@ddelv1601 A degree in software engineering is not a degree in Economics. People here are right; your braggadocio is no match for the insipid argument you present. The idea that *_"The consumers of that product will just spend less on other products and services"_* is arrogant and absurd. See: Michael Price's response.
