Two things I don't understand:

1) The fact that adult aren't allowed to buy kid's meal, even when they're paying it.

2) Baby/kids clothes being similar or more expensive to adult clothes when they require less materials.

1) total bullshit. What are you talking about? I'm eating my batman menu in Austria for decades

1) that's just your hallucination.

2) that's because "material per item" isn't the driving factor here, but "work per item" combined with "smaller market"

Total bullshit?

Try buying a kid's meal/menu in UK or Japan. Only loophole is that if you order online/ubereats.

If you can do that in EU, then I'll worship EU from now on.

@kanyewest

Japan I get.

UK, wtf? Did you tell them to fix their teeth or something?

@jestdotty yes, that too.

as for wedding photography: it's more pricey because a lot more is at stake. for a public festivity - well, that's one among many, if you don't get the perfect shot of something (or even nothing at all), that's much less painful than having out-of-focus shots of a usually very unique occasion.

so basically: you pay for higher-grade and redundant equipment, you pay for the experience that someone has to have to even attempt capturing a wedding (additionally way that's both documenting and artistic), and you're paying for an objectively more stressful job than events or portraits.

@tosensei

You seem to accept the world as it is, no matter how irrational things may be. Somethings can be improved, and somethings must be improved.

Why are you only seeing in one dimension, and in first-person and insisting that's how it must be without even thinking about it?

You must be doing it deliberately...

@jestdotty you call it "excuses", i call it "first hand experience - source: i'm doing that stuff. you know - photography. wedding and otherwise"

i do know how leverage works. you however seem to be unable to realise that sometimes, it's not _just_ leverage ;9

@kanyewest "Why are you only seeing in one dimension, and in first-person and insisting that's how it must be without even thinking about it?" - says the man(?) who always blames jews for everything...

@jestdotty also: how are you not getting that i am _literally agreeing_ with you?

all i'm doing is showing some additional factors that _might_ weigh into the specific example you're naming.

sure, there's cases where those factors aren't a concern at all, and it really is just "people using leverage". (those usually provide crappy results, by the way).

but there's _also_ cases where both the leverage _and_ the costs come into play. or even some where the photographer literally doesn't care about "the leverage" and only tries to honestly provide great service. (i could add "like i try to", but you'd only twist that around as "playing the morality card")
