Eliot Spitzer, the former governor of New York, faces a lawsuit from a co-op board that could upend his plans to build Upper East Side condos. The case centers on an unusual prize: ownership of a grimy concrete ditch behind a luxury apartment building.

Okay something that I need to make clear:
1. When comic creators work for companies, it is not the individual readers that pay their bills. Literally, the publisher does

Keep in mind they will choose you right now bc they think they can under pay you & steal compensation for your labor. They aren’t going to treat you better than union writers
And if they pretend to (they offer money money), it’s so they can screw your & others over later
Comics writers — no matter how stoked you are to work on media projects, if you’re solicited to do development work right now, you’re being asked to scab.
This burns every team you want to work with, and your own future with them. Cite the strike, say no, and be patient. 💪

I do think that we need to consider that Jane Fonda is not only aware these people will laugh, but relies on it as a communicator bc it gives her the freedom to say exactly what’s on her mind. She doesn’t care if the view takes her seriously- it’s that others hear her
Joy: “Besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?
Jane: “Well, murder.”
