@lhfang Also the narrative that drivers would no longer get to choose their own hours, for some unexplained reason, was stupidly effective, amongst drivers themselves. What a shit show that whole industry is. the Napster for cabbies
@lhfang they spent a record 200b on propaganda for prop 22+saw to it the wording was confusing on the ballet +I’d guess most Angelinos believed the rideshare apps would follow through on their threat to leave the state before providing health care to their mostly <min wage “contractors”
@kittaveli Please be mindful of subscribing to and spreading propaganda. It is empirical knowledge, and has been for a while, that covid vaccines do not and never did prevent transmission.
@gia_margaret a 3+ year ”national emergency” where the bars closed down, a bunch of them went out of business, and almost everything we had left was handed to a few corporations that already had everything helped. It was pretty bad before but I do wonder what the touring scene is like now.
@LorettaJRoss Miss Ross, when is your book coming out? I’ve been checking periodically for a release date and not seeing anything about. Who is publishing? I’m very anxious to read it, absolutely love your work
@lawrie_dr no reason to doubt they (CIA) would do it, considering their track record. There’s a really great doc about how they (IMF, etc) systematically destroyed Jamaica’s economy called #lifeanddebt if you want to know more about it. Hard not to be angry. Thanks Dr Tess - you are cool
