"Lots of well meaning rules from decent people result in unintended consequences." The courthouse in my county has it on the books that anyone wearing a mask is automatically loitering and law enforcement or security personnel should arrest / detain them immediately. Nobody is allowed in the courthouse without a mask because of the pandemic. You can be legally required to go to the courthouse. If you avoid it, you get arrested.... and taken to the courthouse. I went out of the way to get elected Constable in my small sleepy town, in part so if I'm ever arrested for anything I can arrest the prosecutor at my trial. Isn't the law fun?

I wish all affected businesses would put the details of all bases of their prices clearly in invoices. "This is the price that we would like to charge. And these are the additional fees that we must charge as a result of AB5". The more transparency, on ALL sides, the better. And NO, the "intention of AB5" has NO MEANING WHATSOEVER. Government interference cannot be judged on intention/emotional response.

This video is clearly aimed at people that don't understand the ups and downs of owning your own business. If you do not own your equipment and tools and do not have the freedom to accept or reject jobs and are not able to accept work from multiple sources....guess what? You are an employee, NOT an independent contractor!!

I notice Andrew skipped over the SMALL possibility that AB-5 was passed intentionally to ‘help’ the little guy instead of screw him over. Obviously no double standard or conflict of interest with this law being passed. Where do politicians get their large donations from again?🤔 It couldn’t possibly be from corporations, CEOs etc. right!?

I can appreciate your throwing a bone to the authors of the bill, but they are, actually, just playing the time-honored Democrat strategy of the "Welfare Game For Votes!". It's worked for them for a very long time, so they are loathe to actually think about if their policies are actually making California a horrible place to live. At any rate, the comedy in these presentations is superb! It's almost enough to offset the sadness caused by the fact that California is bent on destroying society. Meh. Who is John Galt?

The intentions behind AB5 are not good. It's real purpose is to make sure they collect as many taxes as possible. The authors of this bill couldn't care less about protecting workers.

People who explain concepts poorly with bs analogies and distracting editing think you’re stupid and they’re trying to manipulate you. CA AB5 is less motivated by “protecting the dignity of taxpayers” and has more to do with extracting tax revenues from the principal (in this case: Uber, Lyft, DoorDash…)

Please just stop! You don't understand economics so all your content is skewed. Learn a subject THEN make a video about it. Demand is not linked to supply for anything other than the basic items required to live and the US has that covered for everything accept medical care. For everything else demand is an emotion, and supply is a physical state. You can raise the price of an product without changing the supply or demand for product. 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. 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. So your simplistic and flawed model leads you to flawed predictions. Then you get on your soap box and tell everyone about your scary government fever dream. Learn economics, encourage testing of new models, evaluate the results, make recommendations, monitor the outcome, and don't be afraid to revert if the larger implementation fails.

"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.
