As a producer, the new #sagaftra contract is AMAZING! I could fly talent from FL to NYC during COVID in coach. Or FL - Guatamala. Different rates for West & East coast talent. It's like Bargain Basement Actors. More for less.
@ActingIncome I just want to see where the $ goes, especially during a time like this. Everyone in #sagaftra should get to see where their money goes. Times and platforms are changing and we should be in the loop.
I know the #sagaftra contract will pass with flying technicolors because the pretty postcards say to "vote yes" instead of to "vote".
Our voting is only around 12-22% anyway. And the entire nation loves us and is counting on us.
@ActingIncome I started producing a couple of years ago and that's why when I looked at the contract I had that Aha moment. Disney+ and Prime have sooo much $. Everything will be streaming with COVID. They should get an entertainment lawyer to negotiate.
@ActingIncome It's interesting that we can find what the government spends our taxes on, yet this union is like a secret society. Just "say yes and attitude of gratitude".
@AmaNoGood@_Bethlovee@MrBlifil Google seems to be slow lately with even simple shit, even weather. Lol If I've helped you with self defense I am happy. :)
Is there a way us #sagaftra members can see a spreadsheet of where our dues go? How much #money goes to salaries, overhead, lobbying, programs, pension, healthcare, rent, etc. We should get receipts from our union for our money. Transparency is key for any union.
@ActingIncome Love it! Do you know how we, as #sagaftra members can see a spreadsheet of where our dues go? Like lobbying, salaries, pension, etc. I'd like to see receipts. Transparency over virtue signaling rocks.
@AmaNoGood@_Bethlovee@MrBlifil 1 part rubbing alcohol to 6 parts bleach. If you add in nail polish remover that's the same amount as the alcohol, the self defense potion will melt a soda can. It gets hot! Over ice in mason jar. Stay safe. Gloves and masks.
@chrissyteigen Hire some actors to fake arrest you, go off social media for a week, and stand in front of a greenscreen courthouse glown up. Have fun with it.
As an actor, I look at the #sagaftra contract and I'm like, "Has @OSHA_DOL & #departmentoflabor seen this?" Nothing for ADA? Vague gaslighting? Two bucks in 3 years if all goes well? Virtue signaling on glossy postcards? I showed it to my account to make sure I wasn't too crazy.
What if the police and the community got to know each other like in the old days? I you were young and were naughty, the cop would drive you to your parents house and say you tagged something or were smoking. The police and the people need to talk without politicians
@MancityReynolds @itsayeyojazz @F_Walton30 @_Bethlovee@MrBlifil It is better than nothing. I would not have told her or anyone needing self defense to mix bleach and ammonia cuz the mustard gas envelopes the whole room. With this, she had control.
@F_Walton30 @MancityReynolds @itsayeyojazz@_Bethlovee@MrBlifil I know they put it in movies, I saw it in House of Cards. It's also used in survivalist guides. You're right, it can be used in many ways. However it can also be lethal. I think it's important we start to role-play scenarios for self defense. I've even started running. Lol
@MancityReynolds @itsayeyojazz @F_Walton30 @_Bethlovee@MrBlifil Alcohol or vinegar will increase potency and can even melt aluminum. So depending on your situation, location, you may want to go hard. In a bathroom, you can get them to slip on oily conditioner ;)
