I’m not doubting this but I wonder if there is any data to support this claim.
As it would be good ammunition to counter the anti-union rhetoric.

This one looks stoned so it’s chill.
And wages? They couldn’t pay the drivers as little as Uber by making them contractors.
To answer your first sentence. Perhaps it to try and show an interest in something you like.
It’s a lot harder for smaller businesses to invest in that level of development without hedge fund money and trying to corner the market.
If a small taxi company is making £100k profit a year it’s a big ask to invest £20k+ on developer to compete with Uber for what? A small increase in profit.
You need to expand as well as innovate. Hence the one taxi company near me buying out others to have a larger market.
I guess it depends where you are. In my city there is a taxi company that started buying lots of smaller ones. They now have an app like Uber so you can order it and see where it is. Because they bought so many firms they’re everywhere and considerably cheaper than Uber. I guess it’s only viable in large cities.
Unless you’re the driver.
Tell that to Radiohead and the people that previously sued Radiohead over Creep and had writing credits added for it.
As I mentioned it was more than the progression, but the melody too. As to my understanding of music theory, which isn’t my field of expertise, in this particular chord progression the melody one would put over the progression is further limited.
Edit: Here you can find mention to the songs used in lawsuits
Edit: Here is someone discussing this who has more musical knowledge than I
IMO music copyright has gone too far. Have a look at the Creep - Radiohead chord progression of I, III, IV, and iV.
There have been a few lawsuits over using the same chord progression, but with music theory there are only so many permutations before you end up arriving at the same logical places. The same is quite true for overlaying melodies to this particular progression.
They did in my city. Barclays got wrecked and closed. Good shit.
I just noticed some of the typos in my comment.
I hate iPhone predicative text changing my words and offering silly suggestions.
Thanks for sharing.
Although, I abhor your countries neutrality. Take WWII for instance, being neutral kind of says yeah we are cool with both sides.
Also, your banking laws are a cancer on the rest of the world, but I shouldn’t throw stones from my glass house in the UK since we are also very good at offshoring money for deplorable people.
I will say I am fond of your progressive policies on terms of drug use and help for those that want it.
I feel there is an orange man missing in this timeline.
I’m shocked, but happy, that they actually got jail time.
4.5 years for the parents and 4 years for the son and his wife respectively. I think jail time for people like this is the only way we can make sure they don’t do it again, a fine is no use when you’re richer than god.
The royal family are not the richest. Sure they have assets but most of it they can’t really sell.
They’re scroungers and I hope one day we oust them. How can we bang on about equality whilst holding parasites on a pedestal.
I hardly think it hypocritical to condemn Israel for what they’re doing.
As for the rest of your rant about insulting people. I’m going to end the conversation here and wish you a nice weekend and perhaps you can reflect on how you speak to people online, as it says more about your mentality than it does mine.
No need to be offensive, it’s not the way to converse with people and detracts from any argument you may want to convey.
You implied it by questioning my post about Israel committing a genocide and trying to justify it due to the actions of Hamas.
Whatever Hamas has done in killing innocent people doesn’t justify Israel killing 10-20x the number of innocent people.
So that means it’s fair game for Israel to just kill whoever they choose? They’re never going to wipe out Hamas. In fact they’re ensuring that the next generation will join because they killed their families.
I guess I was wondering if there had been studies on the effectiveness of unions and looking at how many, if not negligible, have had reported cases of corruption and / or fraud.
Like I say I do believe unions do more good for workers than bad, but I also do believe that any organisation that gets to a certain size is inevitably going to be corrupt as the people that are going to be corrupt will do what is necessary to rise to the top.
