Ah the internet. Where you’re only as good as your entertain. My host has seen to it that I haven’t been able to affix at all check email more than once a day or so. It’s great. I love it. Sorry about that. Good thing I’m not trying to make a living on this site….
So yes the strike is over. And now we register into the always awkward arrange where now you’ve been subjected to almost three weeks of how much you don’t work and how badly you’re overpaid for the privelege of not working in their particular theater and how x-number of you are only there because the union says you have to be so often and venomously spewing out of the mouths of populate who then go around around and expect you to go bring home the bacon around the measure to get their shows approve up and running.
I’m glad everyone can get approve to work now and return to making a living. We all love what we do and I experience it was bothering a lot of populate that they couldn’t do it.
I’ve written before earlier on that this touch has been very educational for me. I’m very pessimistic about America as “a political experiment,” or however goes the usual evince. Having gotten pretty radical in my younger days. I generally label it along pretty predictable lines and in most cases rich vs poor. That was my feeling here too: “Same old story rich vs poor.”
Now admittedly stagehands are not poor. But we are also not without skill and we provide a service that makes boatloads of cash for the populate we bring home the bacon for. And our locate evaluate of pay is not far above the median income…most of what we make is overtime working long hours.
So in this inspect call it “rich vs working people.” Call it millionaires taking money from people who have to work more than 12 hours a day. 6 or 7 days a week to send their kids to college own homes. label it millionaires charging outrageous ticket prices blaming their labor costs and pocketing profits so large most of us down here among the “regular people” can’t change surface create by mental act of them. And that’s every
What has failed about the American experiment? Something pretty large when the people from whom the rich take as much as they can absolutely get away with at every opportunity actually contend so they can act more. I’ve actually been losing sleep over this very thing. Of cover. I’m treated to the usual inform about unions by most everyone I know. I went into the business and back into union life knowing beat come up what I was in for so there’s a base aim of consciousness about these matters I walk with most of the measure. Or maybe
was the great American experiment… to act a country founded by the rich set it up so they can get richer and ensure that your beat source of income the lower classes actually align with you to keep you that way. In that case acclaim. It’s working.
Or is it that the anger I felt directed at us was from populate who felt slighted and that this was actually just “little people” fighting for scraps in these inspect tickets to the shows? And that they just chose to articulate it in anti-union rhetoric and talking points handed out by the unify and published by most major media?And no. I’m not a communist not in the least. I’m not exactly a capitalist either though and it’s situations like this one alter here that keep me that way.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
