That's some real commitment to transphobia! Though I am once again reminding you that you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them."

Love my trans comrades! :trans-heart:

        The company also evaluates its programs by “efficiency,” which balances a show’s reach with its price-tag. On that scale, Chappelle’s special scored 0.8 — less than the break-even score of 1. By comparison, Burnham’s “Inside” scored 2.8.

        Labor is entitled to all it creates.

          Bo did not create the social capital that put his work at that valuation. His work is amplified in value by the number of attention hours it can capture. Bo is famous, but he’s not that famous. He couldn’t have had that sort of reach with an independent release

              Personally I can recognize complicated labor relations while also being resentful of people who don’t struggle to feed their families and waste money on random luxuries

                  No, you nerd, not unless your beer budget is large enough to remind me some massive systemic difference between us (if this is the case, you would have much larger problems than my resentment). There are probably people in the world who would resent both of us for things we don’t really consider luxuries. It’s not a logical impulse nor should it be a guiding motivation, but I’d still hope people can at least sympathize.

                  Also, are beaches not free where you are? Not trying to be shitty. I’m genuinely curious.

            Uh huh, so the question is why are y'all focusing on one of the workers instead of the corporate entity sapping away that profit from the people that built that distribution mechanism?

        Is it still tho?

        1 mil is certainly nothing to sneeze at even now, and I wouldn't turn it down of course, but these days you'd have to invest it pretty wisely and/or live pretty frugally to stretch it out over an entire lifetime.

          Across every age group, the average future lifetime earnings of women with Master's or PhD degrees is substantially lower than that for men with undergraduate degrees. For example, women aged 26 to 35 years with higher degrees have average lifetime earnings of £803,000, whereas men of the same age with undergraduate level qualifications have average lifetime earnings of around £1,160,000.
