#2Seems like a fair outcome to me. If they can't operate within the law, they shouldn't operate.

Sounds like a great outcome for the people who are relying on that work for income right now.

#4Could this be posturing to get the state to back down on the enforcement of its decision? And does anyone have a guess if Uber is making money in California right now? Given the state is still in lock down.

And also sounds great for those that now have to wait for an hour+ for a taxi or maybe not have a ride at all.

Definitely sucks for the driver. If this new proposition they have cooked up does indeed fail to pass, I suspect they will come up with some sort of "innovation" that will allow them to operate their service with employees collecting W2s. Most likely in the form of a higher price for users.

I can't see a time in our future where some portion of the population aren't going to need to rely on the gig economy for employment, can you?

If Uber hasn't been preparing internally for the possibility of losing this suit, they've been irresponsible in the hopes that California would go "oh shit, they're gonna shoot the hostage".

#9Want to be free to have a random part-time gig you can pick up whenever you want? Nope, do-gooders are going to do-good you into a wage slave job like everyone else.

Yeah, it seems like Uber should have had a plan B in place for if they lost this case.
Unless "take what you can carry then shut down in CA" was the plan.
