Get me dem numbers then with your counterpoint.
Much more expensive? Have you looked at how much it costs to build subways in the US compared to EU? It's absolutely insane. We are failing to do this affordably. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/26/1184420745/why-building-public-transit-in-the-us-costs-so-much
Supply and demand. Everyone wants to be an actor, doesn't mean everyone gets to be one. Absolutely an oversupply in that industry. Same with tons of other industries, so cry me a river.
I looked at pay, it's actually very good across the board. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66196357
The AI thing is interesting, but I thought that was tertiary to these other points.
Can someone explain why SAG-AFTRA is on strike? is is just solidarity with writers? I have a hard time giving a shit about actors not making enough money when there are people way worse off.
Inequality is getting worse so it makes sense. I am pro capitalist myself but it needs checks and balances to make it work (ie monopoly busting, higher taxes, stronger social safety nets). Some of the checks have eroded, but they can be brought back, and I am waiting for evidence that a better system can sustainably exist.
Side rant, but do you ever call in to support with a serious problem and they just by default treat you like a granny who doesnt know how to type in a wifi password? That whole process is so frustrating, and they never have the expertise to handle more sophisticated problems.
Everyone is an environmentalist until we ask them to pay for it.
No, this is outrage bait.
It is indeed.
Batteries are cheap to replace.
$125 per day for the lowest budget film possible ie lowest rate possible as an actor? Seems pretty ok to me given the ROI on a 250k budget film. It's only upwards from there. Again, I'm not sure what you expect. Wannabe actors are a dime a dozen. Supply and demand.
