Taxi companies need to own the car, pay for maintenance, pay wages for the driver, insurance, etc.
Ride-sharing apps offload all of the taxi-company maintenance overhead costs to the gig-driver while only paying about 50% of the fare.

This is a malignantly intentional ignorance, and it will spread.
Abbott was the Texas AG and helped re-write legislation that reduced payouts on medical torts almost 30 years after he sued because he was paralyzed by a falling tree.

I've seen them in seven States in the US, also on a trip to Canada. I lived in Germany for a while, and used them there - and Austria.
Maybe you should try traveling and open up that closed mind. Expand those horizons.
In my hypothetical example, when you pictured stalls, you pictured them with only toilets inside. You didn't even consider that there could be a stall with just a urinal.
You may enjoy sidling to the trough and gazing at your competition, but some of us appreciate not having creeps trying to size us up.
One of the things that drives Reddit as a social media platform is the anonymity.
Once you start tying monetization mechanisms to pay users for content, similar to YouTube or Instagram, you lose the anonymity.
Reddit is already walking the path to destroy everything that made it a different social media platform.
Make them all unisex. If it's a large facility with a bunch of stalls or a small facility for only one person, make them all unisex.
Someone is holding that bag, though. Unfortunately for us, the people holding that bag have the kind of money to make our lives hell just for a fraction of a percentage point of value for their bottom line.
I'm on a Pixel 7, Android 13.
So far, I like Jerboa.
Maybe a bug:
When I go to all, I get a few posts loaded. I scroll to the bottom, and nothing else loads. I have to click into a post, swipe back to all, and then more posts will load, allowing me to scroll.
Feature requests: A version of all that automatically filters out tagged nsfw or porn. And maybe a version of all that automatically limits to tagged nsfw.
An ability to minimize or hide what I am subscribed to in the menu. Ie, I need to click on subscriptions to load what servers I am subscribed to, instead of them being top loaded and visible in the menu.

The average age of new enlisted accessions are 18.5 years old for the US Marines, and 19.7 for the US Army.
87% of the new recruits are 18-24 years old.
A 2005 study showed that more than 40% of new recruits came from rural areas.
More than a few Woodersons join the military.
"She found them", or she was found during a room inspection or wandering the hallway by an NCO on duty. Probably an NCO with the common sense to ask what in the fuck a 14 year old girl is doing wandering around the barracks on a military installation.
I was in the Army. I've reported underaged girls in the barracks to superiors before.

The work-supervision to prevent slackers thing is only part of the problem, and pretty small.
The biggest issue is the huge amount of money these companies pay for real estate, and how much the commercial real estate market means to the overall economy.
All of this is just sabre-rattling in an attempt to return to the pre-covid status quo, while these companies will soon be shedding their corporate office spaces to reduce their operating costs.
