Gov. Newsom and legislative Democrats pushed through a law that bans employers from requiring workers to attend ‘captive audience meetings.’ It was the latest victory for the labor movement at the state Capitol.
Business groups such as the California Chamber of Commerce opposed the new law, arguing it would infringe on employers’ right to free speech and ability to discuss the effects of laws or regulation on their industries.
Ah yes, using the warped Conservative version of “free speech” to mean “the right to be listened to”.
It’s so common that it’s kinda frustrating
How it has to be constantly repeated, “no, just because you have the right to speak does not mean anyone has to entertain your bullshit.”
Confusing options for mandates in general is a hugely common logical fallacy. It’s the same kind of defective argument that people use against things like bike lanes and the “15-minute-city” (which is about making it possible to access to access day-to-day amenities within 15 minutes of travel, not restricting people from traveling beyond that).
It’s a logical fallacy that has been cultivated by those it’s beneficial to
