Once again, money ... and the desire to protect your own by the Burning Man organizers (and make no mistake that this is a big money making venture, not some little hippy gathering) puts the lie to their attempts at climate-friendly rhetoric.

typical, pathetic, these are not only NIMBY, but now Not In My Playing Ground, stopping progress to the entire region population just to keep the aesthetics untouched for an event that happens once a year

Cool. Who? Honest question.

It kind of sounds like the word salad that a beauty pageant contestant would throw together.

$314 a month is extremely prohibitively expensive for lots and lots of people. Cool you can afford it, though 

Is now a good time to remind everyone that in the wake of AOC upsetting a centrist incumbent, the Nancy and the DNC enacted rules that cut off any vendor/organization that doesn’t automatically support the incumbent in a primary race... thus conveniently kneecapping anyone who might dare to challenge Pelosi?

At least Bernie advocates for actual progressive policies that would benefit younger generations instead of kneecapping them.

You’re misconstruing residuals, which are paid to writers, directors, and actors when their product is aired or sold individually, with licensing fees, which are paid to the producers, who are occasionally actors, writers, and directors involved in the show.

It really isn’t that complex, though. The fundamental problem is that streamers (most of which are now owned by the production companies themselves) have decided that the existing rules shouldn’t apply to them because they’re “different,” in much the same way that Uber decided the taxi regulations didn’t apply to them

It is a complex issue but the studios and streaming services have no leg to stand on because they aren’t actually competing with each other when it comes to these residuals. They are a united front, leaving negotiations to an umbrella organization, the AMPTP.

The changing business dynamics are a smokescreen when a

This was excellent. Thank you, Linda, and thanks to the people who organized this and Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Just when I think Brennan cannot get any hotter. Yeah, organize that labor, Dungeon Master.
