A union authorization card does not “join” someone to a union, nor is it an irrevocable endorsement of “whatever the union will say in the future.”
A union authorization card is simply a means of demonstrating the 30% employee support required for the NLRB to order an election. That’s it. Unions will generally not hold elections until 60% of employees have signed cards, because a majority vote is required.
From the anti-union National Right to Work Foundation:
“You have a legal right to revoke any union authorization card that you have signed. It is illegal for a union to restrict your right to revoke a union authorization card that you signed.”
And see here where the French Constitutional Council struck down a law that would have criminalized filming with the intent to cause harassment of officers:
Great article. I’m curious what ideas people sent you after publishing for solving the gratification problem. What was the strongest, even if you still don’t think it would have worked?
Substitution and lock-in are also things that the antitrust laws are concerned with as they are relevant to how you define the market in the first place.
If the market is for iOS browser engines, Android browsers cannot effectively compete for consumers who are locked-in to the iOS ecosystem due to the switching costs and other barriers that must be surmounted in order for consumers to access those browsers. Almost no one is going to switch from an existing $1000+ phone to a new one solely because of their browser, leading to almost zero cross elasticity of demand between iOS and Android browsers (high cross-elasticity being indicia that products are part of the same market, e.g., mobile browsers).
So one way to answer your question would be to say that Apple has complete control over the relevant market, which is the market for iOS browser engines.
Prosecutors do a lot of work, but the idea that they lose a lot is questionable. In the federal system, more than 90% of defendants plead guilty, and only around 1% of defendants take a case to trial and ultimately win. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/11/only-2-of-f...
I just watched the whole thing and thought it looked really cool! Seems like a scrappy and self-reliant company that is focused on cost effectiveness and efficiency.
I didn’t expect to end up reading this whole thing, but I did and really enjoyed it! Love a good old fashioned travelblog without the bs “hacks”, ads, and affiliate links.
Can you imagine saying “ni hao” and asking for selfies with random Asian people on the street in whatever western country? It would be racist and demeaning as hell. That’s what they subjected you to, and you felt “special.”
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Sensors can be easily cleaned! I’ve changed lenses on my Fuji mirrorless in wind, dust, huddled under an umbrella, etc. On the one occasion in the past 5 years that dust spots were an issue in a photo, a quick few pixel clone stamp solved the problem.
For the average shooter, even one who uses their camera like a tool, maintaining it reasonably should make this a nonissue.
