so the market rate for rare things is basically determined by more "handshake" level specific numbers while the market rate for something more common has a VERY heavy anchor. This can be "good" for some too. e.g. move to Bay area and being a highly paid idiot at FAANG.

the former requires choosing to give up individual sovereignty to "be a part" of the union and thus is the REAL test of it there's any real brotherhood or if it's just a temporary racket held together by duct tape anger.

the latter asks for literal sacrifice which no sane person would agree too unless the union could also "take care of you" or "make you whole." (note how mafias and cartels can basically be viewed as unions against government)

this is why unions of all forms can be dangerous. because their "death" is hastened by the secession of individuals they have a I WILL NOT DIE!!! program similar to cancer cells. EXIT is not possible. Only VOICE is.

the other reason unions can become dangerous is b/c the best way to maintain a solid cell boundary is through THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS DANGEROUS. collective groups projecting shadow so that everyone ELSE/OTHER are Evil Devils is CRUCIAL for the coherence/vitality of the group.

E.g. a redneck going "Those dirty indo-china-tacos are taking all our glorious honest down-2-earth jobs and cutting corners!!!" ignores the "oh cool, something else I can do instead of sell my pussy, I can finally give her the life she deserves lounging around catching mice."
