B402, maybe not me? You appear to not know much about those you insult so much. Guessing i have been more critical of Maher than others here. That doesn't mean i can't enjoy him at times. You really do seem to have a problem understanding any who are not as simple-mindedly black and white as you are.
Bill Maher Is Strangely Pro-Boss and Anti-Labor for a ‘Liberal’
"Only Occasionally Real Time With Bill Maher "Have no idea what his thoughts are. The only thought on that is i think he has said he does his own thing and that's that. And that i reckon he probably sees the wider audience reach he has the better. He seems to be one of these guys into making money big time....""
OLD RULES
The talk show host thinks the Hollywood labor dispute between studios against writers and actors is “complicated.” It’s not, the workers deserve a living wage.
Gaffigan pushed back, pointing out that the writers have legitimate grievances. Bill conceded that “they’re being screwed a bit by the streamers,” but still characterized many of the writers’ demands as “kooky,” adding that what he finds “objectionable about the philosophy of the strike” is that “they kind of believe that you’re owed a living as a writer and you’re not.”
Really?
The Hollywood studios and streaming services are obscenely profitable. Granting the writers’ “kooky” demands would cost the tiniest fraction of those profits. We’re talking about the people who write every sentence spoken by every character in every movie and on every show.
They even write the material Bill Maher clumsily delivers every week on Real Time, often getting mad at the audience ..
.. if they don’t laugh hard enough at the results. HBO pays him a salary that works out to well over a quarter of a million dollars per episode. Does he truly think the writers, without whom the entire industry would cease to exist, aren’t so much as “owed a living”?
