There are lots of white actors that don’t, and won’t ever, headline movies. It is a weird formula for who becomes a headliner. They have to go through the same trials that everyone else has to go through and their time in that spot is often short-lived.

Woah. While I appreciate that you’re agreeing with me, I can’t really let your examples stand.

Sadly, that does not matter anymore.

This sort of thing usually boils down to ... either the movie gets made with a big name Hollywood name at the helm or it doesn’t get made at all. People keep insisting they should put a different actor at the helm of the movie, usually someone less high profile. But, that would likely mean the movie doesn’t get made…

Well written. This needs more stars. I deal with contractors every day in my profession & they work long hours, early mornings/late evenings/weekends/holidays etc.

One thing to remember is contractors are essentially self-employed (unless they work through an agency, which is different I’ll admit), meaning, in theory,…

The independent contractor model is far more common than many people apparently realize. I’ve worked as an independent contractor tutoring high school students. Somebody else deals with finding students and negotiating fees, all I have to do is show up and teach, and I get a handsome hourly rate. Most tutors work part…

Your writing ability is excellent, but your knowledge of business and law are lacking.

Never said automation was inherently bad. The problem is that, in the past, automation allowed people to do other things and expand. Basically, automation created more jobs than it erased.

Ok. Every company is beholden to their customers... I didn’t think it was worth highlighting.

Workers’ self-management would mean there are no need for CEOs leading those companies, no, but choices made through collective decision making, using council and democratic systems within the company

CEO salary scales with overall company performance, not the pay of individuals. CEOs are paid lots of money to hedge the massive amount of risk that exists when shareholders of a massive corporation trust a leader to have authority over all operational decisions. The CEOs to watch out for are the ones making huge…

Big mac will still cost the same just less people making them!

No...?

Let’s add Alan Mullaly (aerospace engineer).

But what are lawmakers going to do? Ban touchscreen kiosks and Ipad registers?

Can confirm. As some one who worked in small business tax and regulatory policy, $15 wage is a boon to the Wal-Marts and McDonalds that can automate 90% of the workforce while the small business competition closes its doors.

Yeah, humans have been automating for hundreds of years and at a rapidly accelerating pace since about 1800 or so.

Umm, your company is beholden to the customers. As are all private companies. The benefits and structure you like, which are great, work because they allow the company to delivery what it’s customers want.

so maybe people should actually describe that middle ground in terms of policy and rates instead of using vague terminology like “spread the wealth” or Obama’s fave, “fair share.” Because very very bad things have happened to people under the guise of “spreading the wealth.”
