Bernie Sanders suggests ‘Avengers’ profits should fund workers’ raises

    Sen. Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist from Vermont who is mounting his second bid for the White House, lists nearly two dozen issues on his website that he would like to tackle as president, from fighting for disability rights to empowering tribal nations.

    The independent senator teased a new cause on Monday — or, at least, a new tactic in his long-standing crusade against income inequality. He suggested a way of avenging workers at Walt Disney Co., where, last year, the median employee made 1/1,424 as much as Bob Iger, the chief executive of the mass media and entertainment empire. The candidate didn’t don armor, brandish a red-white-and-blue shield or wield an Infinity Stone.

    Instead, he wrote on Twitter that more than $1 billion in estimated gross sales from “Avengers: Endgame” — the conclusion to the 11-year superhero epic from Disney’s Marvel Studios — could go to ensuring that workers at the company earned a “middle class wage.” That deed, he said, “would be truly heroic.”

    Yeah I heard this before, we did it in the 1970's to our version of Star Wars ..it didn't work ..lol
     
  2. so will it be a good watch then avengers endgame :D
     

  3. Shorter by nearly 3 hours and far less violence ..lol
     
  4. To hell with that rich ass, highly overpaid, elite class, economically ignorant parasite and all he stands for. Oh, that's right, he doesn't stand for anything cause he has no spine. Sellout shill. Why not practice what he preaches and sell his mansions and toys, stop stealing so much money from us, live like a middle class working man and give the rest to the causes he champions other people to be forced pay for.

  8. Another one of those great ideas that just didn't get thought all the way through. So then if we get everybody to keep seeing it over and over again forever the workers can keep getting paid? Did he forget to mention that part?
     
  9. That's one reason they say it's good to be the boss. Meanwhile Bernie donated 2.26% of his earnings to charity. I guess he really needs that money to pay the electric bills for his 3 houses. He pays his interns $12 an hour while advocating a $15 minimum wage. And he's probably one of the more honest ones.

    Bernie Sanders Donated Just Over 2% to Charity, Tax Returns Show

  10. And it's The Daily Beast reporting it so they can't even say you're quoting a right wing rag lol
     
  11. Not that I would really know but I'm pretty sure there are already plenty of good paying jobs in the film industry
     
  12. Bernie should give some of his homes to the homeless.
    No one needs more than 1 home.
    Plus all that extra carbon footprint.

  19. Shit man, I don’t even make $12/hr. I just finally got a $1 raise to bump me up to $11/hr after being here for almost 2 years. As much bullshit I have to deal with every time I’m at work, I think I deserve at least $14/hr, but it’s hard for me to fight for that when many of my coworkers don’t even make that and they’re much better at their job and more qualified than I am. Either way, Bernie is a hypocrite and a snake in the grass. Just because he may appear to be “more honest than the rest” doesn’t make him any less of a snake.

    I don’t even care about all of the things that he has. He’s made the money, he wants those things, there’s no problem in that. The problem comes from the hypocrisy from his actions not lining up with his beliefs.

  20. I didn't realize the thread was about the movie, I thought it was about Bernie Sanders' nutty idea suggesting other people give away their money. It's not that big a deal but Micky admitted he knew what he was doing was wrong and did it anyway. And his statement isn't even true.
