This is so true. My son is an actor and if you look up his net worth online you get this. NEWSFLASH: My son doesn't have 14 thousand dollars, never-ending 14 million.

Whenever I start telling people about my life and all the different things I've done, I know that at some point they start to wonder if I'm a pathological liar. After rewattching The Office, I made this meme.

THIS. I know an enormous array of people in the industry, at nearly all levels & esp in recent years, they've been unemployed, working multiple jobs, moving out of LA and/or living paycheck to paycheck--barely. Crews, actors, producers, writers, directors, a fair few execs--they're just getting by.
There is a persistent myth that if you work in entertainment - if you've done something people have absolutely heard of or enjoyed - that you must be rich. Actors, writers, producers: rich.

The sad truth is most of Hollywood is working class. So when you see a Go Fund Me, there's a reason it exists

Well, I flipped a coin when I left X once Elon started going in the Lex Luthor direction, and went with Threads. Now Zuck is driving people away with his antics and everyone is coming here apparently. So, uh, I guess a "Hi!" is in order.
