Written by Thomas Geiser<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez is a genuinely unlikeable person. In authoring and pushing for her new AB 5 legislation, she willfully ignored the wishes of her constituents in order to push a personal agenda and further her own political career.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a recent interview<\/a> with KUSI News, Assemblywoman Gonzalez got visibly angry while claiming that there was no evidence that AB 5 has caused job loss<\/a> as workers are transitioning from being independent contractors to employees. It’s one thing to be wrong, it’s another thing to be wrong and belligerent about the issue. She acts the same way behind closed doors while meeting with her critics. Michelle Mears, a freelance journalist, quoted Gonzalez as saying independent contractor jobs were \u201cnot good jobs to begin with.\u201d <\/span>This is not even mentioning her profanity-laden tweets responding to online criticism of her bill where she states that people should not need to have side jobs and that critics should stop complaining. Her attitude is both ignorant and condescending.<\/span><\/p>\n

They shouldn\u2019t fucking have to. And until you or anyone else that wants to bitch about AB5 puts out cognizant policy proposals to curb this chaos, you can keep your criticism anonymous. Good God.<\/p>\n
