You gotta get out more

Look in the mirror. Find me a single manufacturer that would lie about their leather shoes. Fact is it costs much more to put in real leather. If anyone wants to sell “vegan” leather they would do it, it’s less than half the price. Every Chinese factory is “vegan”.

Sure there is demand for vegan products. But no one will sell steak and call it rice and beans.

I was referring to vegan being a status symbol. It has become a "thing", and not just a technical ingredient issue.

The same ones who label wool as synthetic. Ask any shatnez lab about those.

Bottom line: You won't find leather shoes advertised as vegan, nor is there any reason it would be.

Why would that be less than wool label as synthetic?

I'll likely eventually ask this to a dayan, but curious if there will be consensus:
If a playgroup Morah told us that her hours would be from 9:20-3 and then changed it to 9:30 without telling us (never mentioned it on registration that this changed), would I be able to back out, and would I be able to get the registration refunded? She admitted that she changed the hours, plus my wife has the original text conversations (there were never oral conversations).
I asked a rav (myself, not with the babysitter - I just wanted to gauge if I had any standing) and he said that since she made a change that has a material difference (due to Lkwd traffic) - the previous agreement isn't valid anymore, and I'd be able to back out.

You should ask about whether she has a responsibility to you to keep to it or subsidize a replacement.

Somewhat complex. If she was unaware at the time she committed that the difference between 920 and 930 is a דבר האבד many achronim would say there is a din of פועל יכול לחזור בו despite it in fact being a דבר האבד.

Highly unlikely unless this is her first year as a morah and very new to town. There is tons of nuance here no matter what and it is not going to be decided on DDF.

He isn’t talking about general מינות. He’s talking about a specific symbol.
