companies really have got to be okay with stagnant profits. what is wrong with earning the same amount every year? why does it always have to be more? it's not sustainable. there are only so many people on the planet you can profit from 😭

The thing is, the people who run companies love stability. It means they get to keep doing the jobs they've been doing for years, maybe a few updates to adjust to shifts in culture or technology, but everybody keeps making product/performing service and everybody keeps getting paid.

But investors, they want to know that when they put money into something, they will get 7% more money out of it next year. They don't care what the company does, they don't have any idea how the industry it's in works, all they know is they want number to go up and if number does not go up then they will burn the whole thing to the ground.

That's why the stock market is the worst possible thing for the economy.

I love being part of the Good Omens fandom because it's the only fandom I'm in that hasn't simmered down yet. You people are 2014 levels of crazy. You're in Neil's inbox calling him "babygirl" and writing 16000-word theory essays that will absolutely come back to haunt you in a Youtube retrospective some day. I love having to apologize to my mutuals for your behavior. It makes me feel young again.

"It's gotten to the point where I think a lot of people can't believe it if they get a residual for $25," O'Brien said. "They're so used to opening those envelopes and it's 30 cents."

O'Brien, who has appeared on dozens of shows, from "Grey's Anatomy" to "Pretty Little Liars," shared images of residual checks from more than two decades ago worth $47.49, $87.77 and $216.25. Others, from the past few years, amounted to $1.63, 43 cents and 1 cent.

Lower residual payments mean fewer actors earn the $26,470 per year needed to qualify for SAG-AFTRA's health insurance coverage, said actor Michael Spellman. The union said about 14% of its 160,000 members currently meet that threshold.

Really important info for anyone thinking this is a “rich people strike”
