{UAH} IF DONALD TRUMP LOSES THE ELECTION YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE THE ENTIRE GIG ECONOMY

Friends

 

This is where sterile politics become very complicated, Democrats all their life have failed to see the value of big businesses in the community. Indeed as this piece explains, California has been fighting with Uber for they need it to close, that is not a good company, for it is too big and useless. I find it so stupid for the Democrats to think that they are can hold society back into the mom and papa corner store in 2020. And here is where they are going to find a problem, Amazon has educated the population that I can order an item today and have it in a couple of days down the road on my door, that cat is out of the bag and can ever be put back even if Joe Biden wins this election, but Amazon has pushed Federal Express, United Postal Service, and UPS to move that way too, those are not going back either for they have automated or automating their systems to effect the changes. In the corner there is a change that is just around the corner, Walmart has started a system, where you can order anything from their store and you get it in or under two hours. That service is expanding in United States stores like a wild fire, and they are working to cut it down to an hour and half. At the speed it is spreading in United States I will not be surprised if Canadian stores are also incorporating it.

 

Joe Biden just cannot win this war, he has to  learn at his old stuttering age to firkin live with it.

Democrats want to shred the gig economy as a favor to Big Labor

Who doesn’t love the gig economy? The answer, unfortunately, is Joe Biden and the Democrats. They support policies that nearly caused Uber and Lyft to close down operations in California this month, and still might cause them to do so.

For most people, the ease and flexibility of ride-sharing, food delivery, and other such conveniences allow hundreds of millions of people to obtain useful services, and tens of millions to take on lucrative side hustles — driving, tutoring, delivering, loaning cars, etc. — for extra cash. It has been especially beneficial during the coronavirus pandemic in helping obviate unnecessary trips by people who might have otherwise spread disease.

What is less obvious about the gig economy is that it is a coping mechanism. By avoiding the formal, traditional employment arrangement, gig work has helped keep the economy dynamic in spite of forces that tend to retard, namely, high payroll taxes, employment regulations, and unionization.

Unfortunately, labor unions are acutely aware of this, and they hate it. They want to put the toothpaste back into the tube and regain their old glory days, before unions became largely irrelevant to most workers and most industries.

Because the gig economy is helping companies avoid the shackles of the backward 1930s labor policy ensconced in the National Labor Relations Act, the unions’ Democratic allies are irrevocably committed to destroying it. In California, they are succeeding. The Biden-endorsed Assembly Bill 5 forces gig workers back into traditional employment relationships with the platforms on which they work. This defeats the entire purpose of most of their services.

This bill was a naked favor to labor unions, stifling platforms that competed with union labor and situating more workers in jobs in which they could be unionized. It is already having deleterious consequences for California’s economy. Freelance journalists and other gig workers in the state, indeed every industry that hasn’t managed to get itself an exemption, have lost work. If Uber and Lyft shut down operations in the Golden State, it will instantly put half a million drivers out of work.

The only way California voters can save these services is to overturn AB 5 this November in a referendum. But even that may not be enough. If Biden and Democrats win on the national level, they will pass the same bill and put everyone out of luck, and they’ll be doing it all as a favor to the unions that have historically provided their party with its financial muscle.

Democrats are eager to defeat President Trump this fall and seize control of the Senate. Once they have eliminated the filibuster, they will not stop with just destroying the gig economy as a favor to their political allies. They also intend to nullify 27 states’ right-to-work laws. This would force many unwilling workers to pay unions for the privilege of having their own jobs.

They also want to remove any requirement for workplace secret-ballot elections for unionization, so workers have even less say in whether they become a job-security program for union bosses. This provision, known colloquially as “card check,” has been on the unions’ wish list for more than a decade. They failed to get it in 2009, when Democrats enjoyed a supermajority in the Senate, but their planned elimination of the filibuster could remove the last obstacle.

Democrats are determined to do big favors for their union paymasters. If they succeed, they could provide the second punch in a one-two combination against the economy.

If you think the internet is a cool way to get a ride, borrow a car, or find a Latin tutor, think twice before you elect Democrats. Think twice, too, about voting Democrat if you believe workers deserve a chance to choose whether to unionize without coercion.
