Trust me, if I can understand Quantum Electronics, I can understand you. If you want to provide references for me and others to read if we want to, fine. You apparently have a lot of time and energy for this. But apparently, you do not understand that despite all of the cases you cited, we remain contractors until the IRS or a State or Federal court says otherwise. Even if the California laws are passed, or the California investigation of mystery shopping companies finds that California shoppers are employees and not contractors, it will only apply in California and is likely to be challenged in the California state court system, and if there is a point to be argued under Federal law, it will enter the Federal court system, probably in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (which is seated in San Francisco).
If there is something you actually want us to do other than reading all the references you provided, I fail to understand what it is. What are you proposing that is actionable by me or others on this Forum as individuals? Knowledge is always great, but knowledge without purpose is just for fun unless you are a Ken Jennings or James Holzhauer wanna-be. I do not aspire to be either of them, but I do collect information, and I have fun. Are you having fun?
