Alternative title: movie studio greed could cost the US economy $5 billion-plus.
If only people could be satisfied with MoreThanEnoughMoney, rather than needing LudicrousMoney.
Wow, great job with the pro-company/anti-worker framing there Yahoo finance. This is the fault of greedy corporations, not workers demanding a fair share.
Oh no, the precious “economy”!
How do you get that from the article?
Incorrect. Hollywood bigwig blowhards who routinely cheat on their accounting and taxes like it’s breathing and treat the people who actually create the products like an underclass of garbage … that’s who cost the economy $5b.
But also the strikes and lost wages though.
Any chance a co-op studio could replace or compete with the big studios? I’m sure the biggest hurdle would be raising enough capital but it would be nice to see the actual actors and film crews taking ownership.
Why don’t they create their own co-op studio with blackjack and hookers? Their combined talent should be able to, right?
These studios ironically would be saving more money if they agreed to the unions’ terms.
