• And the WGA is putting up their own counter tracking how much the AMPTP owes their members in late new media payments.

  Right next to it will be a counter tracking how much the big 8 CEO’S are making each day. With and without a SAG strike. Hey whaddya’ know, the amount is the same.

• I think the AMPTP are the only ones who don’t think studio accounting is a joke.

• Funny that they think they can calculate what SAG is “losing”, but they can’t figure out how to pay the writers for work already done.

  Truly, embarrassingly, laughable.

• The problem with American business today is that they only think about the next quarter. Actors must take a long term view. If we accept rollbacks for a perceived short term gain, we will dishonor all those who came before us and all who come after us.

  Nobody’s being fooled here. If we do not preserve those contract points in new media which we have secured over many years of good faith bargaining in old media, it will be impossible to make a living and American professional actors will become hobbyists.

  I have this to say to the AMPTP: “Greed is bad.”
