Companies flex and try to bully, but they don’t have the power. The consumer is the king maker and once these companies get their crown they think they run the show, but that’s not the case. Fuck Uber I hope they keep losing.

Unfortunately, Californians drank their bullshit cocktail and passed prop 22. It proves that if you spend enough money consumers will listen to any fairy tale.

It’s true. The prop system in CA is flawed and if it did succeed they would have just put it on a new prop the next year as well. I am always inherently skeptical when there is a prop with tons of funding going towards it. Research people!!!

Well in this case, it's the local government with the power and not the consumer... but I like your spirit!

I mean they’re not just pulling this out of their ass. Presumably consumers have been asking for regulation and a local govt is using their power to help.
