Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Marvel: Can we just keep churning out the same formula every year and just keep printing money endlessly?

Me: Yes, if you pay your staff equitably.

They're good watches, but the VFX quality has been dropping no doubt due to crunch and budget constraints.

I would certainly love to see unionization for these people. The work they do is critical to Disney's cash cow and they deserve to be treated as critical staff.
