mlmp08 posted:E: ^^ ah, got it I don't know how you have that conversation without agitating for revolution, but ok. I have a love/hate relationship with child support, having paid it for quite a long time. It was the first bill I paid and the only one that I never missed even when I was sleeping in my car and crashing with family. I also saw my ex getting a new car or truck every 3-4 years, along with a bunch of other stuff, and knowing that her husband wasn't making that kind of money (they also had 4 other kids). On the other hand my son had a decent life in that house. But when it was first awarded, there was some kind of minimum amount I had to pay even though that was roughly my first paycheck of the month, and I was still stuck buying a lot of the baby supplies that she wasn't spending that money on. $18k is insane on the surface, but I doubt those kids were going to be starving for "stuff" if they'd grown up in dad's house so it's probably comparable and that's the point. I don't like that she got 2/3 of his estate after 7 years of marriage during the peak of his NFL career, but it's what it is and I'm not losing sleep over it. I don't really see that as the same as vets losing their poo poo because after 20 years of marriage and service the ex gets half their retirement after being drug around the globe and having no chance at their own career. Edit: She's claiming he's behind on his monthly payments, he's denying it. gently caress whomever is lying.

It's called tax law There are about a gajillion things ahead of "sneaky single parents" that are the actual cause of the common person being poo poo on in this country. If we made the rich pay for social services, there would be less requirement for individuals to pay as much for childcare.

Eat the rich imo. While that amount of money awarded from divorce makes me feel weird, we have to remember that the husband is rich as gently caress and a woman shouldnt have to sell assets to survive a divorce.

Make any of you feel better my mom never got a penny of the 17 years of child support she was awarded after being married for 1 year with a few trips to the ER for being "clumsy". So the system works I guess.

facialimpediment posted:For what it's worth, professional sportplayers tend to skew hella, hella libertarian. Setting aside the dudebro jock poo poo, a middling player would sign a $1m contract, of which ~$300k immediately goes to the taxman and ~$100k probably goes to the agent. That turns them a bit mentally goofy, getting only $600k of their $1m, plus all of the bullshit that sportowners like to pull to deny them that money if they get hurt. Make that paranoia exponential for the big-time players with big-time contracts. My hot take: Anyone who genuinely pulls themselves from poverty to riches with their own hard work and talents deserves to be a libertarian if they want. Not sure if that's Huff but it definitely is a lot of athletes. I'll just keep laughing at the failsons working at a job daddy gave them who think they're being held back by the government.

100% My whole issue with the original tweet wasn't the amount of money or Strahans case, it was Huffs attitude that since the wife wasn't a famous athlete that having kids and being married was worthless financially compared to "chauvinist adjectives here". Honestly wasn't even looking at the actual money in the Strahan thing nor really care about that. That Works fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Nov 27, 2019 |

Patrocclesiastes posted:Eat the rich imo. 18k a month is a lot but you have to consider she was married for 7 years and has twins. They were accustomed to a certain lifestyle so how do you decide what is an appropriate "cap" for how much money is appropriate to raise a child without a significant decrease in quality of life? If you capped child support based on "reasonable living expenses" the following would happen: Women would stay in lovely relationships longer because their quality of life would decrease significantly for themselves and their children Filthy rich men would divorce women left and right when they get tired of them cause they can afford to pay whatever pittance support would be Kids get hosed

joat mon posted:Current events adjacent: I'm an inactive TAG [Animation Guild] member. Guild did good work getting a great deal for people in that guild, Film producers/studios pool money into a fund that gets sent to different other IATSE unions [actors, editors, screenwriters, etc] And Animators got a seat at the table, stuff like if you work 10 years you get lifetime health coverage past that even if you change industries or leave the field, standing up to Overtime violations, plus two pensions [well it was two pensions its down to one now ]. In 1979 they struck over runaway production forcing us studios/networks to have to use US animation studios before sending work to Canada/Korea/Japan, which worked. Then 1983 happened. The union contract was up for renewal and there was another strike about outsourcing. This was also during the production of Tron at Disney where they had to send a lot of matte work to Taiwan for ink and paintwork, which was under dispute since Disney was classifying it as not animation, despite it being animation. Everyone was on strike and after 10 weeks, Disney workers gave up and went back to work. This is a no-no.. and forever kicked the Animation Guild out of the "big boys table" of IATSE negotiations. They immediately lost the support of other guilds in LA over this and were forced to deal with studios on their own in the future instead of on a united front with the rest of Hollywood. 1983 was the start of outsourced animation on tv in the US, which also combined with children's program deregulation opened the flood gates for shows roughly produced in the US but animated outside the US.. plus the rise of toy commercials disguised as tv shows. Things bottomed out in the late 80's with the closure of Filmation [Heman/Shera/Bravestar,etc] and Hanna Barabaria getting sold. The union did recover in the 1990's with the rise of the Hollywood big-budget animated features and the rise of Dreamworks and Disneys CG feature divisions. IMO, things were still weighed down by upper union-management which hasn't changed since the 70's and early 80's... many issues were still viewed through the lens of TV animation even though at that point [early 2010's] 90% of membership was CG feature at two studios. Fortunately, new blood got in power and things are working out better now but I don't think they'll ever recover from the 1983 fiasco. That being said computer/CG folks were always the hardest to get to unionized. Lucasfilm/ILM was unionized at one point and IMO, the workers got scammed there to walk away from the union on a vote. PIXAR should have been unionized, but LOL Pixar. More recently, after Frozen turned out to be a big hit, Disney cut bonus checks out to the animation staff, averaging around $30k each if I recall correctly. Problem was, Disney hand a round of layoffs after the film was done but before it was released and those folks never got the bonus... the union stepped in over that and a deal was worked out. SO uh.. that's my essay on animation unions. Big K of Justice fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Nov 27, 2019 |
