I have a good idea, let's allow people to not eat or sleep or rest and drive us to hospitals and give us preliminary life persevering medical treatment. I'll call it Proposition 11.

The ads for that prop basically wrote themselves: have a boss barge into a breakroom, eat your lunch and push you out to a bunch of angry customers. Then trot out some attractive EMTs in fake duty snippets talking about their long hours. Same with the loving Dialysis prop. They're vampires who found 100 million to spend but wont pay to update their facilities. Plz change title to CA Thread: Eat, poo poo, Feinstein because those all seem to be constants of life here now and forever.

Honestly, Prop 11 passing is way worse than Prop 8 failing - the latter was partially a negotiating tactic to even get it on the ballot and the companies were forced to spend like $110m to maintain the status quo.

I bet this is the last straw for people who are on the fence about beginning or continuing a career as an EMT. The get paid absolute bottom of the barrel wages to save people's lives on the daily. So now they make less than retail wages and their bosses just funded a campaign to keep them from even having a break. Pathetic. I am not a ~first responder~ worshipper but I am really mad on their behalf. I don't know what I could have done but I'm kicking myself for assuming it would work out in their favor. my bony fealty posted:A lotta EMTs gonna up and quit maybe Or hopefully unionize life is a joke fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Nov 7, 2018 |

If you look up arguments for/against it the first thing you see is "Prop 11 establishes into law the longstanding industry practice of paying EMTs and paramedics to remain reachable during their work breaks in case of emergency- just like firefighters and police officers." On the loving Secretary of State's website. That is probably the max depth most voters got about it. The bias for was baked in from the start. A lotta EMTs gonna up and quit maybe

life is a joke posted:Or hopefully unionize They already did. The whole reason prop 11 exists is because the union and AMR didn't agree about whether their deal for how to handle being on call during breaks would be retroactive. AMR basically took the deal they had with the union, added "it's retroactive", and submitted it as a prop, figuring that the cost of doing that * the chance of it passing and surviving court challenge was cheaper than settling the existing lawsuits

You should have seen the midterm thread. Nate Silver's dumb model kept seesawing between 30% and 90% chance for a Dem House. Goons were breaking out the pills and razor blades for a couple hours there.

Yay to Vladimir Rohrabacher going down (finally!), Issa's old seat flipping, and picking up CA-25. Boo to CA-10, CA-39, and CA-45, all held by Reps by 51-49. C'mon gang, those are the sort of seats you should be picking off in a blue state during an anti-Republican backlash election. Immensely frustrating. And LOL just LOL to CA-50 returned the indicted adulterous vaper to Congress. Oh, inland San Diego, you never fail to disappoint.

Honestly it was pretty tame by goon meltdown standards. It's clear that a huge majority of Californians just pick "yes" on every judge but I'd still rather have the option as a way to get rid of them than have it be like the Supreme Court, where it can just be packed with far right demagogues for decades. I don't know what Carol Carrigan would need to have done to get rejected if what she did wasn't enough for it to even be somewhat close, but I'm sure there's something.

Campaigning might've actually reduced his vote share, lol I honestly think that was a deliberate strategy on his part. Try to combine the clueless angry "Feinstein is a communist" GOP vote with the legitimately angry "Feinstein is a senile dinosaur" progressive vote to get to 50.1 percent. Honestly, he did better than I expected him to given her institutional advantages.

Prop 11 is a poster child for why direct democracy is bad in most cases. The general electorate shouldn't be expected to understand all the nuances of a labor dispute of one particular industry, and that industry shouldn't be essentially allowed to buy their way onto a ballot. A statewide ballot proposition should only be used for issues that affect virtually everyone in the state. I don't really think it's proof we're in 'neoliberal hell' considering 5 and 6 both lost. We need to reform the proposition process.
