Think You're an Independent Contractor? Think Again

California has already near-exterminated independent contractors.

Bai-Den and the ex-Californian Julie Su intend to take that demolition national.

....Since 2022, there are 57.3 million Americans who consider themselves freelancers, independent contractors, self-employed, or entrepreneurs. The legacy media's tendency to lump all of these categories under the "gig" economy simply frames it in people's minds as technology or rideshare; but these are your dental hygienist, your child's soccer coach, fabricators, farriers, and home health care providers, to name just a few. Over 600 professions have been identified that would be upended or outright eliminated when this DOL IC Rule takes effect....

The Californicate law is so bad that even Andy Cuomo refused to implement a similar one in New York State--and a Newsom deputy chief-of-staff described it as "one of the most destructive pieces of legislation in the past 20 years,"

... The Independent Contractor Rule was recorded in the federal register on January 10, 2024, and is scheduled to take effect on March 10, 2024. It is 339 pages of essentially the Department of Labor justifying why independent contractors should not be allowed to exist. The rule acts from the premise that independent contractors have no right to determine whether they are independent or an employee. It is the DOL's job to do that for you....

Seems like the Feds never get tired of deciding things for us, eh?

Why do you think Trump sits atop the pile of candidates?
