Is this just going to California drivers?

I tell you if it's going to non-Californian drivers it might actually be a criminal offense to knowingly be soliciting non-citizens of the State to lobby lawmakers. Only California citizens are allowed input on laws that govern them.

I have seen a lot of millennial derived crap from Lyft and Uber but I think this one really does take the cake. Are they that dillusional to post this? With that said, it seems there are ants who drive for non-surge rates so that may be the answer. Come on people, wake up. This plea from Lyft is wrong on so many levels and shows the lengths they will go to in order to stop you from making fair and equitable earnings.


Please, educate us with this supposed law Uber troll.


And while it is California Legislation, it does provide a platform from which other states can start proceeding with their own regulations. Eventually, with the gig economy companies skirting so many laws/regulations, I forese federal laws having to be addressed that specifically protect workers from these predatory companies.

Troll calling people trolls. Go figure.

Straw-man argument much? None of us living in California are clamoring for this. What we are interested in is being true contractors and not being in this grey area where we're kind of treated like employees while carrying the IC label.

Most also interested in seeing both companies go up in flames at this point.

You really shouldn't preach for all Californians, you immediately destroy your own argument when you do...

What are you talking about? I'm clearly talking about those of us who reside in places like the SF forum.

"None of us living in California"

You can talk about your own views all you want but once you start to claim that you are talking about other people's views you get on their bad side as soon as they differ from yours even ever so slightly.

So this is going to become a job with schedule...so some will make more money, but others will be out of the job. Nice. What everyone here fails to understand is that there is finite amount of money to go around. So right now if all they got is $100, and there is 100 drivers, everyone gets a $1... and everyone complains cuz it;s not enough... what will happen is, they will only allow 10 drivers to be online, so 10 will make $10, but guess what, other 90 will make 0. So to all these who want more, I hope you will be the ones of the 90 left with 0. At least now you all got opportunity to make something, when more regulation comes, only few will make more... and yes, I know all of you think you will be those lucky 10 making more, but guess what, only 10 of you can be 10, not all 100.... so good luck to all you 90 who will make 0.

I don't know about you but I'm interested in making more than $1...

Everyone is... but how do you now it will be you who will make more than $1, and not me, or the another driver you just passed today. Today everyone has equal opportunity to make money, some will make more and some will make less. If the regulations force the company to do something, they will do it, but that will come at some other cost... and that's what no one is focusing on. There is only so much money to go around, if they are forced to pay someone more that means someone else will be out of a job... and how do you know you will be at the money receiving end and not at the out of the job end?

No. You said right now everyone has the equal opportunity to make 1 measly dollar. That's not making money, it's just driving for charity.
