I know it may not be consequential to us here in the Motor City, but the president of the SAG-AFTRA union, Fran Drescher, delivered a fiery and impassioned speech yesterday about the union's decision to strike a midnight. I watched the speech in its entirety. This woman known for her nasally voice and annoying mannerisms in her TV portrayal of The Nanny, a show long forgotten. Yesterday, she was Jimmy Hoffa with a speech that spoke to the heart of America and the huge disparities that exist in the workplace. I fear that the actors won't win out due to the films and shows already in the can for the producers. Bear in mind that all people in this profession aren't Tom Cruise or Sylvester Stallone. Most have lunch bucket gigs that just get by. Also affected are the needed technicians you see when the credits are rolled, the key grips, the best boys and sound technicians. If you have the opportunity, view the speech online.
Voted for the the Berkley School milage yesterday by absentee ballot. I hope it wins and the schools get the dough they need for improvements and programs. Always voted for schools even when my kids were in and afterward. A well educated population is necessary for a successful country.
Thats it for today
all for now
stay safe
