I have a second sim card for my phone. I just turn off that sim when I'm not working, and set my status as away for group chat.

In this context, there isn't any tangible benefit to having a second phone.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it plans out.

A regular group chat and another signal one for when you specifically need to talk to OP.

Having two phones absolutely sucks. Didn't work for me at all.

It's nice to be nice.

While higher prices cab make products more appealing, that is not the primary reason why vegan products are more expensive.

Correct. That's precisely why producers of meat patties can still be profitable at a much lower price point.

It's social media, who's making scientific postulates?

It's a lemmy comment.

It's not rudimentary, it's a complex system reduced to a few sentences.

  1. Vegan patties have been around forever.

  2. There aren't significantly more barriers to entry for food products than other industries.

  3. Yes vendors want high prices, but that applies to any product, not only vegan products.

The answer is, as everyone else has pointed out, economies of scale. There's a larger market with more participants producing more beef burgers than there are vegan patties.

This is contrary to basic economic principles.

If a beef burger and vegan burger cost the same to make, but people will pay more for the vegan, that world attract more vegan producers to the market, and more competition would reduce the price.

The flag looks a bit like a disgruntled goose.

It's not my thing but it's pretty rad!

Also, that's one pretty hand you got there son. You could be a hand model.
