Well right, point being that it's no *newer* than a 2003, and could be older.
The guys saying they’d love to be complimented on their looks are probably undeserving of compliments.
There’s a guy at my gym who drives an old 1st-generation Lexus RX300, so the newest it could be is a 2003. He mentioned recently that he takes it to the Lexus dealer for service because he likes to get new Lexuses as service loaners. I was like, “man, you must really like those service loaners because on an old car…
The massage example isn’t an exact analog but it’s got some similarities.

I’m Jewish. Fuck you.
The legislature isn’t just saying, “oh hey this is a new kind of employment relationship, we should update our laws to suit it.”
The California supreme court ALREADY DECIDED THIS ISSUE. The legislature is now updating the state employment laws as a result of the supreme court’s decision.
Ok, let me repeat myself more briefly because you clearly didn’t read anything I just said:
Set hours are not a requirement for classifying a worker as an employee. Here’s the guide from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. These are the highlights:
The status quo is going away whether or not this law is passed, because the California Supreme Court has already ruled that gig economy workers like Uber & Lyft drivers are being misclassified as contractors when they aren’t.
I work in corporate HR. Your bullet points would only apply if they were full-time employees. There are several other employee classifications that could apply to drivers like part-time or on-call.
True independent contractors are essentially operating as small businesses and have the ability to compete for business and set and/or negotiate their prices. Uber & Lyft drivers depend on the apps to provide them with customers and are paid at whatever price the apps set. It’s totally different.
