Comment on ‘So immoral’: gig economy workers forced to pay fee to receive their wages

  It was a measure on the ballot in 2016, I think? Maybe 2020? The same as the more recent one that passed giving restaurant employees a bump up to $21/hour in pay without changing the $16/hour state minimum wage.

    Paid shills. Look inti the california case further, and you’ll see the companies were lobying their asses off to twist reality. Including several cases where they paid actors or their contractors to puppet the speaking points in ads and on social media.

    They didn’t convince the workers, they only had to spend the money to convince the general public.

    It worked.

      I don’t think fondly of the people who voted for Trump, either. If you drink the Kool-Aid because the guy handing it out said it was fine, after being warned about the potential outcome of said Kool-Aid repeatedly by everyone else, at some point you share in the blame for the outcome.

        Ok.

        Then what is your solution short of executing these people?

        If you want the next vote to go according to reality, your solution MUST include getting people to change their minds.

        You don’t do that by going “lol you guys shat your beed, now sleep in it”.

        You claim they were repeatedly told and warned, but the fact that things went the way they did, proves they weren’t.

        You’re only blaming them, because it’s easier than acknowledging that more should have been done.
