Vox Media to Cut Hundreds of Freelance Jobs Due to New Calisocialism Law
17th December 2019
Ace of Spades points and laughs.
California is making it, effectively, illegal to hire freelancers for anything but very occasional work. They want people hired as full-timers.
So hundreds of people will lose all work.
Or, I suppose: Hundreds of people will purchase fake identification and submit articles under many different names, attempting to stay below the new law’s 35-articles-per-year maximum for freelancers.
Those of us in Red States are going through a lot of popcorn these days, which is probably bad for our health.
