Someone will inevitably complain about why do these highly paid actors need a union, not making the connection that one of the reasons they remain highly paid is that they are unionized.

Not just that, but all of those people in the background are getting about $3000 a week. Great pay in some places, but you’re not going to be living in a mansion in L.A. on that. Not to mention, they might be getting that wage for one week, four times a year.

Oh boy, more greedy people need more money to satisfy even greedier people.

Good thing they deserve more money than, you know, the subsistence farmers in Africa.

Pons_Aelius ,

How does your posting here help the subsistence farmers in Africa.?

Other than making you feel righteous?

dudebro ,

🥱

Like it or not, I can’t solve these problems on my own.

Unfortunately, a lot of people like you are afraid to admit they exist.

Pons_Aelius ,

Oh great, another person who thinks they are the first to realise there are major problems in the world and think their efforts raising awareness do anything but feed their ego.

So, What personally have you done, other than post online, to help the people you keep posting about?

Milan ,

Those greedy background actors taking money from the multibillion dollar corporations!

dudebro ,

Yeah, and funneling it to their landlords!

The nerve of them, complaining about not making enough money when living in one of the most expensive cities on the planet and rarely cooking their own meals!

Milan ,

So the actors are greedy but their bosses and landlords are alright? You have the brain of a medieval peasant.

dudebro ,

No. The actors are actors and their landlords are landlords.

You have the brain of a medieval peasant.

Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension then come back.

Or let’s be real: you’re upset I’m saying rich people should make less money because you think the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink. Just come out and say it, lol. Don’t be ashamed of your position.

Milan ,

I’m not upset. I’m baffled because I didn’t think people this stupid could figure out how to use the internet. The strike is not for the rich actors but for the majority of actors who are not rich. And even it was for the Chris Pines and Pratt’s, those people are millionaires. Bob Iger and David Zaslav are billionaires. That’s still shrinking wealth disparity.

If your tiny little monkey brain could do more than basic pattern recognition you could work that out yourself.

dudebro ,

Yeah. You’re not upset that’s why you keep hurling baseless insults at me.

Have a nice day. Gonna block you now.

Milan ,

👍

CaptainAniki ,

Ditto

scarabic ,

How much have you donated to African relief this month? Those people can’t tell the difference between you and Sandra Bullock. You both shit into cleaner water than they have ever seen in their lives.

dudebro ,

Ok? What’s your point.

scarabic ,

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

dudebro ,

Oh, well. I’m glad you think that.

Have a nice day.

scarabic ,

Spare me the false dignity. You’ve made a real chump of yourself here.

dudebro ,

I’m sorry you feel that way.

Thanks for the personal attacks, though. 👍

Your bar for “rich” is very low.

The average salaries are ok, but in the US they are far far from making actors wealthy.

dudebro ,

Anyone who has above average wealth doesn’t deserve more so long as children go without: food, water, shelter, education, and electricity.

Sorry you’re arguing against this.

Ddubz ,
@Ddubz@lemmy.world avatar

They’re not. They’re responding to your first idiotic comment with a rational one.

dudebro ,

Err… no they’re not.

Lol.

You can tell because he says ‘US’ instead of globally. That shows he doesn’t understand my point.

joshhsoj1902 ,

The union is fighting to raise working conditions and the minimum wages.

So I guess by your own logic you do support this walkout, you just don’t even realize it 😂.

Edit: just incase I need to explain it, anyone working for minimum wages would be making less than the average.

dudebro ,

Err… by my own logic: “Anyone who has above average wealth doesn’t deserve more so long as children go without: food, water, shelter, education, and electricity.”

Sorry this has to be repeated for you, but you can’t seem to avoid putting words in my mouth, lol.

I’m talking globally, not locally, lol. You can always say “people in Singapore need (want) more money” while ignoring the starving children in Africa. Lol. Where does that extra money go?

You’re just trying to substitute my argument with something that’s easier to argue against. Just admit you disagree with my previous statement. Own it. Don’t be ashamed.

joshhsoj1902 ,

Oh, you’re talking about something completely other then the article the rest of us are talking about. No wonder you’re so confused and are confusing everyone else.

Give the article a read and try to stay on topic.

dudebro ,

Err… no I’m not. Lol.

You’re just upset I’m calling out rich people wanting more money. Please own it. Don’t be ashamed.

EnderWi99in ,

Glad it got made before Hollywood finally crashed. This isn't going to get resolved the way actors and writers would like. The old Hollywood isn't coming back and studios are going to be much leaner and less eager to take risks in the future.

Milan ,

Hollywood is the last place in the US where workers actually hold any power. They’re not going down without a fight.

CaptainAniki ,

Studios are already not taking any risks. Go look at the list of movies that came out in 1992 or 1994 and then look at what came out in 2019 and tell me that studios are taking any risks at all.

Wow have writers and actors gone on strike at the same time before?

Backspacecentury ,

Not since Reagan was the president of the actors’ union in the sixty’s.
