Dems Labor Bill Hurts Female Entrepreneurs?

Female entrepreneurs are not happy with the Democrats’ labor bill and they are voicing their concerns loudly.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

A female independent contractor and a female small business owner criticized congressional Democrats for supporting a radical labor reform they said would harm female business owners across the nation.

The pair ripped into the PRO Act, a massive labor overhaul that congressional Democrats are planning to vote on this week. The bill, based on California’s AB5 law, would restructure U.S. labor regulations to significantly weaken right-to-work laws passed by more than half of the states in the country, and would also limit the ability of individuals to work as independent contractors. Jennifer O’Connell, a freelance writer and yoga instructor, said the California law hurts the people it is supposed to help, saying that it “pretty much eliminated most of my professional life and income.”

“As a woman-owned small business, the government is seeking once again to destroy my professional life, a life that I’ve spent decades building and performing without any government help,” O’Connell said. “How Neanderthal is Joe Biden’s thinking, or this administration’s thinking, to want to outlaw a woman’s ability to work?”

House Democrats passed a version of the act in February 2020, but without control of the Senate, the bill did not get any further. President Joe Biden pledged to sign the PRO Act into law on the campaign trail, and the White House issued a statement Tuesday encouraging House Democrats to pass the AFL-CIO-backed bill.

Some have said that it will particularly have a disparate impact on women who want to balance a career with raising a family.

This was so predictable! All I can say is if you are a woman small business owner or entrepreneur, or you belong to a union, and you voted for Biden, then you are going to have to live with the consequences! Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to live with them as well.

Yet many women vote for the democrats! And if you are a conservative women you are attacked by the democrat females. This country is going down the toilet quickly. From what I am reading, civil war is on the horizon.

Because we have an administration that basically performed an “over-throw” of our Government via Big Tech and the only way the Supreme Court is upholding ANY of this is if EVERY JUSTICE’S FAMILY WAS THREATENED. Why else would they be making the insane decisions they have made? YOU CAN”T JUST REFUSE TO HEAR CASES THAT HAVE HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES AND THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES TO TESTIMONY.

ANYTHING to destroy jobs and business so you have to depend on Commie Joe Panty Sniffer’s bread lines to control you. You can not feed yourself and be independent. Your too dumb and weak to take care of yourself. You have to have Commie Joe do it for you. Then China will come help him with the reeducation camps to help you out. Hope you like rice and bugs and rat meat.

Joe is setting all of the really bad socialist policies in place before the Dems pull him from the White House, using Amendment 25. The dems believe this will appease all of the people they have screwed. However, with the useful idiot Kamala Harris, things will continue to get worse.
Thank you to all of the useful idiots that voted AGAINST Trump. I have not met very many people that voted FOR Biden. Are you enjoying the 50% increase in gasoline prices? Are your daughters having fun in the locker rooms and showers with the “not-sure-if-I-am-a -guy” beings? And, have those of you that are working, have your withholding taxes gone up yet? Finally, isn’t it wonderful that the most recent “Covid Relief Bill” has less than 25% of its $1,900,000,000 Dollars, designated to actually help fight the Covid problems? The rest of it will go to pay off the democratic minions that are helping / allowing our country to be destroyed. All of this because the mass media and the Democrats were afraid that Trump was too close to being successful in draining the swamp. Thanks to all of you that have put the crud back in the swamp.

This bill is about protecting the unions and their nest eggs, their own campaign financing arms, and turning this country socialist. Do we really want to grow up and be just like Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, or Venezuela?
