The guideline is very relevant. The strike serves to demonstrate the value of the labor the striking workers provide. In this case, wearing the costumes and posting to social media very much functions as value provided to the struck companies. Increasingly, actors engagement on social media is part of their hiring…

You are 100% complaining about what the writers and what they are writing. One writer had on opinion, and the next writer had a different one and they had the audacity to write these different opinions on the same website. They are allowed to have different opinions about Martin Scorsese. It is good, very good, that a…
