Then get a different job, dummy. Jesus. Going into show business is one of the dumbest life decisions a person can make. Get an education and a degree that will land you a job in which you can support yourself and plan for eventual retirement. Fantasyland won’t pay the bills. Time to grow up.
Going on television and whining is not a good look when the majority of the public has had it with Hollywood’s forced diversity, horrible film and tv shows, and political and social lectures from people who are completely out of touch with reality.

Yes, R1. It's ALL the fault of "Hollywood."

Not watching a video. Is there a summary?

R1 and that’s exactly why millennials and gen Z have loans that are robbing them of financial security.

What do loans have to do with the actors' (or the writers') strike, R4?

R1 if you believe that then you need to stop watching all forms of entertainment. No movies, tv shows, soap operas, live stage plays, music videos, reality tv. NOTHING. You’re not allowed.
Thank god for people who decide to pursue a career that they’re passionate about and realize the risks and STILL GO FOR IT. They’re allowing you to enjoy your CSI and Golden Girls and the like.
I guess we all need to be accountants from now on
Fuck you

R1 is just another rightwing creep who posts all over threads blasting unions and diversity and yes, even gays.
F/F the jerk,

One must wonder what great contribution R1 is making, what important job they have.

R1 You sound old. Your nonsense is exactly why so many people are in student debt with jobs they hate and are depressed.

R1 Did you watch the vid because he actually articulated his point well. And this is not similar to other industries replacing workers with tech; ie find another industry, pick yourself up by the boot straps argument. Hollywood needs the talent, forever and always. The money is there. Pay them.

Why the "quotes," OP? This guy is not a middle-class actor who can't make a living?

Under class actor would be more apt.

R4 would that be the same way that you retard Boomers and Gen Xers went into debt buying McMansions you couldn't afford during the 2008 housing bubble crisis?

R14/R15, you're a "cunt" except without quotes.
