    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.

        🥱

        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.

          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?

      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.

        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.

            Err… no they’re not.

            Lol.

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

        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!

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

            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.

              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.

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

                Have a nice day. Gonna block you now.

    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.

    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.

      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.
