How is this even a question? I was very clear. But to be clearer for those of you in the back, what are the actors going to act in if they can't act in the movies which the studios own the rights to?
Okay, bud. I don't think you know what the word 'survive' means. It's not like these people are 'surviving' off of peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. Try to learn the difference between 'needs' and 'wants' before you make this about 'survival.'
Steal their what? You mean copy?
Yes, they literally are. Famous movie stars are paid millions. Day players are paid shit. Maybe work in the industry before you talk about things you know nothing about.
What? So you're telling me they're actually eating bologna and cheese sandwiches on a regular basis because they can't afford anything else?
They must not also be subscribing to any streaming services, right? Probably doing a lot of shopping at Walmart? They must not travel much, either.
Or are they trying to live as luxurious a life as possible (like everyone else) while doing as little work as possible? (like everyone else)
Like I said, learn the difference between 'needs' and 'wants' before you try to make this about survival.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No.
Minimum requirement for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is $26,000 a year. Thousands do not make enough to qualify and do not have health insurance.
If you think making less than $26,000 a year and not having health insurance is living a luxurious life, you must be posting from your tent under a bridge right now.
You forget. They're not just making less than $26K, they're also living in LA.
Some of them in their cars.
Not every actor is George Clooney you twat. Most of them are working in cafes and coffee shops on the side
Nice hyperbole.
SAG-AFTRA has 170,000 voting members. Only a small fraction makes more than a million.
Good thing nobody needs more than $50k/year to live a respectable life in the US.
Los Angeles has one of the highest costs of living in the world
Just passing a bunch of money around at the top.
Nice retort. It's okay to be wrong friend, we're all here to learn and grow.
Yeah, people need to present logical arguments though.
You're mad I called out greed for what it is.
