That’s a medical issue only Dr. House can solve.

A professor at a small Louisiana university is alleged to have engaged in some downright creepy “extra credit” activities with some of his female students until he was exposed by the campus newspaper. Now he’s out of a job.
Joseph Tokosh was a geography professor at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La. And his particular fetish involved choosing certain students to paint their faces in clown makeup.
He would then post the photos on social media and in places that were clown fetish-friendly on the internet.

Ackshuallllly, she’s saying that NJR is homophobic. As a man, I can tell what females think by reading the words they write.

It’s just a profit sharing mechanism. Presumably every time an episode of a TV show is shown the owner of the show makes some money. So every time it’s shown they have to pay the actors part of the profit. There’s other ways to do profit sharing but the residual model is very sensible.
Given that the actor’s union negotiated this profit sharing agreement and it’s been in place for decades, it is indeed crazy that streaming isn’t included.
There is no inherent reason other than it was an agreed upon system for a long time.
It’s arbitrary why actors get it same way it’s arbitrary why some people are tipped or why some people get better bonuses or benefits
Aaron Paul looks like Aaron Rupar in that screen grab

I understand that it’s a profit sharing mechanism, and I can understand that if you start from the position that residuals are the natural status quo that it’s totally reasonable to incorporate streaming. I was more wondering how we got to that status quo in contrast to, say, a software developer that presumably doesn’t pay a residual to the software designer every time a copy of the application is sold. I think clovis’s analogy to tipping, and the seeming arbitrariness of it, is a good one.
Software developers don’t have a union and didn’t negotiate/demand profit sharing. Simple as that I think. The man is never going to just give you profit sharing as a worker.

I think Sweden once tried worker dividends for all kinds of companies. It didn’t last

Link? I can’t find any info on this.
Thanks, I was looking for something called a worker “dividend”. This looks more like a worker ownership program.

The not very big IT/data consulting company I work for is 100% employee owned, with equal # of shares and profit sharing. CEO earns a bit more, but not more than 1.5ish more than the best paid average Joe.
Admittedly not a very common ownership model even in commie Norway.
ETA: employees not surprisingly love it, turnover is super low.

I think “worker dividends” is a term I lifted from some socialist video game I played lol
Edit: democracy4 is the game

Performance bonuses tied to profits are a thing.
The big news in the escaped murderer story is that he climbed onto the roof during yard time. Imagine designing a prison where all you had to do to get out was press square in the right spot.
