He blocked you because you're an asshole, not because he can't tolerate your ideas. If you could perhaps try to make your point without being such a flaming nugget of condescension and assholery, perhaps your ideas would be better entertained by others. Has that ever once occurred to you since you've been a member of this forum? I'm willing to tolerate alternate viewpoints just fine, so long as they aren't being given by someone who can't help but work personal insults into every response.
Worst case scenario: California freelancers are limited to 35 submissions per employer per year. That is hardly "the end of freelance journalism" or an "apocalyptic event."
Best case scenario (and most probable): lawmakers work with lobbyists/concerned citizens to make sure the bill has absolutely no negative impact on freelance journalists.
Ah look at that. Someone who understands what exactly is going on here.
The intention of the bill wasn't to end freelance journalism, and I highly doubt that is going to be what comes out of it. This is a bill that was forcing companies such as Uber, Lyft, Doordash, etc to pay their 'INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS' as EMPLOYEES. As the employees in their company were getting screwed and making nothing.
If this did present a real issue, it would be fixed. But until it is an issue, I highly doubt anything is done -- because no negative action will be taken against journalists.
You know what they say about intentions don't you? What they intended is irrelevant. You might intend to stop all pick pocketing by chopping off everyone's hands, that doesn't make it effective or magically make the counterproductive results of such a policy go away. Freelancing is VOLUNTARY. No one is forcing them to take these jobs. As some one majoring in a field related to economics, one would think they would teach you that central top down dictated economies don't work, but I guess not. Your assumptions that if it is a problem it would be fixed, and your proclamations that it won't hurt journalists is nothing more than a blind assumption on your part. All these kind of restrictions do is raise the regulatory bar high enough that smaller companies can't compete, big companies will ALWAYS find a way around it.
Anyways I really don't give a fuck if he or anyone else likes me. Being liked is overrated. People who measure their self worth on the approval of others are fucking losers.
Yes I understand. You're not here to be liked. You're here (in a politics section of a social media forum) to tell people what's what because you know what's best for them.
Limiting a freelance journalist to 35 submissions a year IS effectively the end of freelance journalism
No, its not. You're making a hyperbolic statement because you so badly want to "get" the dems. That's the only reason you posted this in the first place -- so you could say "See??? Look what the dems are doing! Dems bad!!!"
Of course you know better than The American Society of Journalists and Authors, because what would they know about their own field of focus? You are Nutillduuuhhhh after all, and you know more about their jobs than they do.
Hey dildo. I
am a freelance journalist. I'm sure The American Society of Journalists and Authors would let me into their club if I paid the fees.
Your assumptions that it will all be worked out are meaningless. This is a backdoor restriction on free speech with all the worst elements of a minimum wage and excessive government regulation.
This is just your paranoid, conspiratard mind running amok. Its what happens when you are pathologically unable to consider alternate viewpoints, which is a common side effect of inceldom.
Let's see what happens on January 1st. I'm willing to bet it won't be the "end of freelance journalism" (in California or anywhere for that matter).
It is not hyperbolic at all. Are you claiming some one can make a career as a freelance journalist only submitting 35 articles annually? No? Then that is effectively the end of freelance journalism in that state. By definition the bill intends to force companies to hire permanent employees, thus its DIRECT INTENT is to restrict freelance journalism to the point that it is effectively not a viable career option. Didn't you just get done preaching about personal attacks... seems like you like to preach a lot but don't follow your own sanctimonious proclamations. Whats new eh?
Amazing, you call me a "conspiritard" incel literally for pointing out alternative view points as you directly accuse me of being unable to consider alternative viewpoints in the same breath. You might as well douse yourself in gasoline and light a match and accuse me of being on fire. Clearly free speech is under attack in this country (and others), and your constant screeching refrain of personal attacks and "NO U!!1" arguments doesn't change that.
