The numbers are in. "Just 7% sympathize more with the entertainment and media corporations represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP)." #WGAstrike #1u #SAGAFTRAstrike latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
Poll: More Americans support striking actors and writers than studios

Poll: More Americans support striking actors and writers than studios

A new L.A. Times poll on Hollywood’s double strike finds the public is more likely to support striking actors and writers than studios and streaming services. But many express ambivalence.

If any economists out there fancy a long-term study on what happens when an HE institution pulls out of a town, here's your case study.

The AMPTP's failure to address the WGA's legitimate issues in negotiations has pushed entertainment workers and their unions together into unprecedented solidarity. Proud to walk the line with our @WGAEast & @WGAWest kin and so many other entertainment unions.

I welcome this. Even for many home-owners, lower house prices aren't a problem. The main losers would be Tory-supporting rentiers: stumblingandmumbling.typepad…

So for instance, take 1980. Back then, official BoE interest rates were on average 14.2%. But because people were much less heavily indebted, because their incomes were much higher vs their repayments, that was, in affordability terms, EQUIVALENT to 3% in today’s interest rates.

Y'days post: How to judge fiscal policy in the time of Truss mainlymacro.blogspot.com/202… The reason the government doesn't want an OBR forecast with its forthcoming tax cuts is that the OBR would show tax cuts having little impact on growth and being unsustainable in the medium term.

In all seriousness, this is the Everest of outside broadcast and they are pulling it off flawlessly. And invisibly: not a cable, mic, or camera to be seen.

Cutting fuel duty is not going to fix the cost of living. ⛽ Just 7% of the savings from cutting fuel duty will go to the poorest fifth of households - while one-third will go to the richest fifth. 🚗 New @NEF @chappersmk research covered in @guardian bit.ly/3iotA0J
