While streaming services rake in hundreds of millions of dollars, many TV stars can’t even afford heating – or are somehow paid in negative figures. No wonder they’re on strike
At least the actors and writers do or make something for their money. Even if they’re highly paid. The thing that is out of whack is executive pay - and how they make several orders of magnitude more than they should even when they make terrible decisions that cost other people their jobs, and even then when they get removed from those jobs they get lavish severance packages. Being mad a a handful of ultra wealthy artists is misdirected.
Yeah, alternative is those high in corporate just take it all. And while people may be jealous of top actor and athlete salaries the industry is also very profitable and is closer to the idea of revenue sharing model than a lot of other jobs. Unfortunately not for everyone, but if an industry is full of wealth then even people who aren’t the CEOs should be getting paid lavishly for the revenue they generate.
And getting mad at them seems exactly what corporate would want where labor is fighting against labor as opposed to those at the top who are taking even more, so it’s not like there isn’t plenty to go around.
