Besides being a poor analogy, that’s not really true. The grip is at least part of a strong union and probably has good health coverage and mandated breaks. Janice is gonna get laid off because the enbridge ceo wants to raise their stock price and she’s first on the chopping block since she took mat leave last year.
Also the grip isn’t getting anywhere near the stage at the Oscars so I’m not sure how it’s in any way relevant. Well maybe when they set up the stage for the Oscars.
I’d rather cater to artistic people’s egos than to the the capitalist pigs that run most Fortune 500 companies. No actor has ever poisoned my water supply or given me cancer.
