Well…just wanted to do a short one on a chart that I just saw on Mastodon about the Hollywood actor and writer’s strike that has beewn going on for a couple of months now…to hear the studios talk, you would think that even giving the writers a penny more would bankrupt every studio and they would all go out of business…but the reality of it is the studios have taken advantage of the writers for decades and have never paid them anywhere near what they are worth to the studio’s bottom line…and the chart I saw showed that…for example, if the writers that work for Disney got everything they are asking for, it would cost them 72 million dollars a year…which is .088 of a percent of their revenues…at Netflix, it would cost them 65 million dollars or .205 of a percent…and at Warner Brothers, it would cost them 45 million dollars or .104 of a percent of revenue….yeah…piddling amounts that they can surely afford but the billionaires who own and run the studios are just greedy and want to hoard all the money for themselves…in fact the ceo of each one of these companies makes more than what all of the writers are asking for…so what’s fair? One greedy ass getting everything or thousands of writers finally making enough to live on? I know what’s fair to me…geez…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
