I wish the president would accept the legitimacy of the elections. 🗳

It’s fine to be an assertive candidate and an advocate for your party but you should accept the results and not be advocating conspiracies when even the preponderance of the evidence suggests that you are wrong.

There is a lot of appeal to being a bit brash a times and being an advocate for tearing down and replacing a broken system. But ultimately we are a nation of laws and the president can’t be above the law and he should respect the law.

Prop 22: California Voters Give Uber And Lyft A Win : NPR

California voters handed Uber and Lyft a big victory — and labor unions a big setback — when they approved a measure allowing the ride-hailing companies to keep classifying their drivers as independent contractors.

For Joe Renice, who drives for Uber in San Francisco, the measure's passage was a relief.

"This is a job that I make over $100,000 a year doing. And I have complete and total freedom and flexibility to do that," he said.

The measure, known as Proposition 22, cements the business models of transportation and food delivery apps, which pay workers for the services they provide on demand. If the measure had failed, the companies would have had to abide by a new state law that says gig workers should be considered employees, and therefore entitled to costly benefits such as unemployment, health insurance and paid sick leave.
