Who Drew The Maps?

California Assembly Member Alexandra Macedo, a Republican from Tulare, is openly mocked by the state’s Democratic legislators, who refuse any transparency whatsoever in explaining the state’s heavily gerrymandered congressional districts.

The Democrats squawk like bloody hell in Texas, but the nation’s most bizarre gerrymandering can be found in the leftist Democratic states, including California, New York and Illinois. What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander. Time to redistrict Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and other states to cut the Democrats down to mincemeat size. Here’s more from Memology 101.

Free The Freelancers

It makes sense that the best way to protect the rights of workers is to let them determine their own job preferences, or mandate that companies provide them with certain protections. California has chosen to take an alternate path via legislation of Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) last year with a stated goal to protect independent contractors, aka freelancers, from employers taking advantage of them.

Has it worked? Sadly, no. It has pushed thousands of workers into the unemployment line due to its Draconian provisions, such as limiting the annual amount of work of freelancers. Bolstered by union support, attempts to repeal AB5 has failed and the danger of similar legislation spreading across the country is very real.

Patrice Onwuka, senior policy analyst for the Independent Women’s Forum, looks into the flaws of AB5 and her findings may surprise you in this episode of PragerU.
