We might need to, but my default position is that we do not want the government to interfere with someone's pursuit of happiness in the general case.

I wouldn't be nearly as outraged at Prop 22 if it simply repealed AB5. However it goes much beyond that. It is a proactive law that prevents new and better laws from being created. It creates a new protection for these companies.

This isn't a win for small government.
