Ross Scott is an absolute treasure, and I'm kinda sad that he has never made more than €63k euros in a given year. He deserves more for all the work he has put in.
I'm not European, so if you are, please do what you can to encourage your reps to support this.
The good news is that they are scared. First, they ignored it. Next they tried to debate, well lie, their way out of it.
No one is buying their story or is feeling sorry for those greedy bastards. So they take the other route, attack the opponent and question their intentions/ credibility.
Dear God, predictable and sad.
That thumbnail is really not helping the movement. Really hope this goes through though.
It’s Ross. This is what he does. The movement has persisted regardless. Bless him.
My dude looks like Dr. Neo Cortex or a Civil War General
Put him in a ponytail, bulk him up a bit, de-age him a decade, and you've got a theoretical physicist with an penchant for crowbar related mayhem.
I think it's a running bit at this point, but it is one that will haunt my nightmares.
Every single video has his face doing something insane looking.
People are clicking, tho
"If everything Terry Davis believed was actually correct" looking thumbnail lol
I was looking forward to some conversation regarding this subject in the comments, instead all we've got is people talking about text vs video, and drawing any attention away from actually discussing the video.
Great.
Was there anything in particular you wanted to discuss?
I think it's interesting that people have to attach their names and prove they're real to sign this, but serious complaints can be filed anonymously. I'm not European, so does this mean anyone random can file complaints? Or it's done somehow officially, just shows up anonymously?
I'm asking to understand how this works because this could not be the industry entirely.
The anonymous complaint system aids whistleblowers.
But it also means that the complaints can come from less than reputable sources.
The upshot of this is that the complaint doesn't get as much traction and is vetted more closely.
This complaint amounts to the condiment on a nothingburger.
Trying to stop the petition based on a technicality that someone is working too hard seems a bit unhinged. Anyone that stands to be hurt enough by the movement would have had lawyers on retainer to handle things like this.
It's also possible that someone supporting the movement used it as a false flag to get more attention, but there's 1.4+ million eyes on it. I don't see that being an advantageous path either.
Either way, the complaint is bunk and will end up being ignored with a moment's scrutiny.
