My friend was telling me about this last night. His dad is a trucker and considered "freelance" so now the family has to figure out how to start their own business to stay employed.
Dosent really suprise me honestly, Vox really dosent have a way to make money with their buisness, so they have to rely on gig workers to write for them. I do feel sorry for the people getting layed off though.
The jobs that are being cut are at SB Nation, not the regular Vox postings you see. The law only affects 'freelancers' who write more than 35 articles a year for the same publication.
