well its all dependent on negotiating power of the union to cost the company profits if they strike and the trust in union that the company will not violate any contract they sign. The whole thing is dependent on the ability of the union to effectively strike and it doesnt always work and companies are willing to take a loss sometimes

lack of mass production probably and cuthroat capitalism. the expensive bikes cater to a niche of bike riders who the business knows can afford to buy them. a lot of these bikes have specialized parts made in specialized countries by craftspeople which up the price of production and in addition they offer some kind of free maintenance you are also buying. the real question is why are cars and other bike so cheap, and thats because of mass production factories and cheap manufacturing methods and economies of scale

sounds like a publicity stunt gone wrong

woudl be great if someone would conduct a proper survey in certain areas and populations that survey peopel who have actually "hooked up" via hook up apps so we can finally set the record straight

This all depends if people feel harassed via social media, texts, photos, etc. Its a matter of perspective, for people who have mainly experienced social interaction through social media, then yes the harassment feeling is much higher.

I think it turned a lot of women into players too, because they had incredible control moreso than every before. I remember hearing something about women who go on dates just to eat.. lolol

sorry i forgot what I wrote, I'm not a pro lemmy user and not sure how to see full comment chain. However, I likely remarked on lack of womens rights in Iran, which anyone remarking lack of womens rights in Islamic countries, is not racist, but just stating facts. Facts that I'm sure some people are upset about. I used to be friends with a woman from saudia arabia who told me personally about her trials and tribulations and trying to unsuccessfully escape the country many times.

one of those sex reports, probably about the weather

too bad he didn't call me before ruining a perfectly good, practically new camry, I have piece of junk car he could have used

world destruction? depression? lack of emotional control?

sure the tents are the problem, she's quite a problem solver

sure its callled not giving someone a chance, being quick to judge, the apps tend to make the personalities and behaviors we have more obvious because they make it easier and more efficient to express this, but like others have said some of these apps are challenging to use by design, they want to extract money from you, not get you a date

this whole focus on "luster" reminds me of the luster of the pyramids

thats because its not a dating app at its core, its a make the company money app, you might get a date, but thats not their purpose. This isn't a all capitalism is bad comment, I"m just pointing out the obvious. I dont go into the world not thinking I"m not trying to be manipulated. I understand some people are naive though, even perhaps college students in their "safe" spaces.
