    Fuck hollywood.

    This would be good opportunity for people to start new film studios and such, founded on more equal profit sharing. Let greedy pieces of shit shrivel and die without labor to exploit. There is no negotiating with those kinds of people as they will just try to find ways to force and manipulate people to do what they want.

      It’s ironic that Hollywood was created by filmmakers and actors who got tired of being exploited by investors and cinemas alike.

          “Money makes the world go around…”

          “Greed is good”

          Making money is fine, but at what cost?

            People dislike a greedy business.
            Start a humble competing business.
            Greedy business falls in line or fails.
            Competing business now free to push profits, becoming greedy business.
            People dislike a greedy business.
