30,000 middle class jobs gone! Our new president can bring them back with a pen stroke!!
I need your help getting past the powerful that are trying to stone wall this effort. The Hollywood press used to be on our side but now, but the studios have silenced them in their continuing effort to keep us from organizing.
Please read on:
We would never sell the Yankees to Canada.
Yet, we are still pimping out our culture to the highest bidder, and all those creative middle class jobs with it.
You know all those great visual effects that American blockbuster films have that the world admires?
THEY ARE NOT MADE HERE ANYMORE !
Most of these shows are no longer even filmed here, and ALL those high paying Visual Effects Jobs left with or without them!
That’s right, Superman is now for Truth Justice and The Canadian Way!
The governments of Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and India have stolen Hollywood rather than make or add to their own Maplewood, Englishwood, Ozwood, Kiwiwood, or Bollywood.
This breaks the World Trade Agreement, and no one is stopping them!
If you do your big Hollywood Visual Effects (VFX) in Vancouver for example, the Canadian government kicks back almost 60% of what you spend with them, making it impossible for American VFX companies to compete with them.
My friends are leaving the country and families, chasing their jobs abroad, or risk losing their homes in America!
One massive USA production was on the stage getting the Academy Award for VFX, while the American company that did the work was in BANKRUPTCY, and laying off 700 artists and support staff! I led the protest of 1000 VFX artists on the Walk of Fame and even the local law enforcement helped because their jobs guarding the sets have also fled America!
When our guy received the award and he went to talk about the protest THEY SHUT OFF HIS MIC AND PLAYED THE THEME SONG TO JAWS!
Local Los Angeles Democrat politicians promised to help us but only made it worse. I’ve written politicians for years now but Hollywood owns them (as we all have seen).
We know Donald Trump will help if this is brought to his attention.
I’ve been reaching out to his staff but so far no answer.
Meanwhile Adan Schiff is trying to pass a bill that will hand Hollywood Producers all the money he promised them for backing his party by using American tax dollars to FINANCE THIER FILMS under the disguise of more subsidies for Hollywood FROM AMERICANS. Most of our tax dollars already go to paying interest on our enormous debt, and now they want us to pay to make the movies then pay again to go see them??
Trump’s tariffs for leverager and a reduced corporate tax for making products in America is the answer. Hollywood does not need welfare. We need our jobs back and America needs the revenue those jobs will create.
Don’t give political parites and Hollywood studios more power and leverage…
THEY HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY. They keep us running around the planet like weak nomadic mice. We can’t organize and our VFX studios can not turn a profit.
The unions, both IATSE and the IBEW could have saved us but they spent more on organizers failing and now we’re just a bargaining chip for their other guilds.
“Leave VFX alone and we’ll give you a better contract.” insiders tell me.
…and the creative cultures of the world can not get off the American Nipple. Hollywood controls the globe’s storytelling, making the same damn movie over and over again, saving the cat, with constant political bias. We need to hear more stories from local cultures that are not under our government controls.
