… Swift’s team worked around the major studios—represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, in the ongoing labor negotiations—altogether when it came to producing and releasing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The film was self-funded, with Swift reportedly spending $10 to $20 million to produce it and her parents working directly with AMC Theaters on distribution. … Though Swift’s film may not do Barbie numbers, she is set to break even more records when it opens next month. Already, it’s on track to make up to $100 million in its first weekend—and could open as high as $145 million, according to BoxOffice.com. That’s unprecedented for a concert film, and would put it in the top five theatrical openings this year.

        How so? I strongly believe most people who loudly decry the habits of the rich would behave the exact same way if they were born into another family.

        I’ll go further: I believe most folks who strongly hold these positions would behave as the rich do now, even if they came into money as adults, after forming these opinions.

        Most people are hypocrites that haven’t had the chance to go back on their positions yet/ever.

          You’re probably not wrong. Which is sort of the point. There need to be rules/laws in place to stop human nature from making life horrible for regular people so a few assholes can exploit them.

            What point? I stand by my opinion, but in general agree with the body of your comment.

          those are the beliefs of a pig, you shouldn’t brag about how strongly you hold onto them

            Ok future jet traveler!

            I’m sure your live as an ascetic, not impacting climate with whatever luxuries you currently afford. I’m sure if you got a better job there would be NOTHING you start doing that you hadn’t before. A vacation, nicer food, some new clothes, run the air conditioning more, nope! Not for you!
