I don't understand your argument. Britain voted to leave, and they left. People can 'call' for whatever they like. In this case the demand was related to the refererendum being on a nebulous idea without any clear idea on how

True, I guess a lot of things I take for granted are only possible through union bargaining in the US.

Does a union negotiating system make sense in a individual contributor focused profession? I am in a union in Germany and the main result is that I earn considerably less the market rate. This is because there is a single pay grade for ever

TBH I struggle to have sympathy for people who signed a shadow rent contract in the full knowledge that they could not afford to pay the shadow rent.

Do you have any genuine insight into VW company culture, or are you just extrapolating from one scandal?

He doesn't seem in any way angry to me. He even admits it's funny. There's no denying the shipping industry has a dark underbelly of exploitation.

German has fixed pronunciation rules, there is no through/trough/tough/thought confusion. Of course for some foreign words you have to make an exception. However, Uber has a pretty minimal presence in Germany, so I doubt many

So if after an election there are two different coalitions with different Prime-ministerial candidates who both claim to be the best chance at a stable government, who makes the choice to go with one of them, or to call fresh elections?

Just luck. Trade Republic, a Robin-hood-alike in Germany, also had to shut down GME purchases.
