Fran Drescher, the fiery SAG-AFTRA president, discusses “fight against corporate greed” and Bob Iger amid actors and writers strikes.
I’m tired of news outlets always claiming that the strikes costs X amount of money to the economy. It’s almost never the strikers fault but corporate greed that’s responsible.
It’s still important to note. These workers provide a broader economic benefit, this isn’t just about them working for their own sake.
Oh absolutely. It’s more the wording of it then the information per se that bothers me.
Per se*
Ironically.
Corrected. Thank you.
Must be utterly frustrating to try and negotiate with these soulless minions of capitalism. Good thing the union has such a spirited and charismatic leader.
The industry is in th best position they’ve been in recent memory too. They have recurring revenue from streaming and can hold out for a very long time. It’s not like the past where they needed prime time shows and consistent movie releases to survive.
She had style! She had flair! She was there. That’s how she became the Nanny!
Not related to the strike, but as a teen in the 90s, watching The Nanny again now is way funnier than other random sitcoms these days. Sure it had a laugh track but the comedic timing was spot on for everyone, though Niles was best for his snipes. Also the jokes were in that nice spot between groaning and laugh worthy. It was the 90s afterall so was a bit cheesy too.
Wait… Fran Drescher, as in The Nanny, is a senator?
She is the current president of Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA)
Ah, okay. The title’s phrasing was entirely misleading.
Yeah from the article it seems the “senator” is a reference to Bernie Sanders.
A more accurate title would read as follows:
Fran Drescher the SAG-AFTRA president and Bernie Sanders the “fiery Senator” discuss ‘fight against corporate greed’ and Bob Iger amid actors’ and writers’ strikes.

Thanks for the heads up. FTFY.

She’s the senator of my heart.
She’s on there right side of this, but she ain’t perfect. She was trying to push a bunch of anti-vax crap on the her during the height of the pandemic.
That’s an inaccuracy. She is definitely not a senator https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran_Drescher
No, for some reason the OP conflated her with Bernie Sanders, who was interviewing her.
No, but being a union leader is a segway into politics. Fran Drescher for President! Seriously, I’d vote for her.

No. It isn’t a shitty chatbot that makes shit up sometimes. Garbage in, garbage out. I merely repost from reddit.

Actually yeah, it is.
You just seem to get really upset when people point it out.

Hey, let’s not be racist against chat bot, we are people too.
No, you’re thinking Love Boat’s Gopher or Dukes of Hazzard’s Cooter. But the former was caught in a mild scandal and resigned out of shame. So, not a Republican, then.
I’m surprised that he didn’t bump up his pay to $86,400 a day. Then he’d be earning an even dollar a second, rather then the 90 cents a second he’s earning now.
