      As a union film crew member, I get paid a tiny bit.

      “Boo-hoo. Now do Amazon workers”. Kind of makes it difficult to discuss doesn’t it?

      Forgive me if I get a bit bitter

      You can get as bitter as you want, just direct it at the people who pay you as little as possible so they can pocket more themselves, not people who are slightly less exploited than you are.

        Agree with you, why be a crab in a bucket. You should support others trying to get up, not cry ‘it should be me!’. Change takes time and everybody can’t be helped at once. Also we need to tar and feather some greedy bastards
