I know there's plenty to discuss but "activist investigator"? ??

Oh it's a wild ride with this one in particular. It's basically "Go back to the OLD ways of where you made shareholder money with WHITE PEOPLE in your movies!"

[thereinventions]

Okay, so I'm not the only who was like,

[tanglespiders]

activist *investor*. it’s a longtime thing, but it became really prominent in the 80s. guys who buy significant minority stakes to bully companies into either changing their ways or boards, or buying out their shares for $$$ to make them go away.

Where's this energy with all white casts? That seems suspicious

$1000 bet on this guy thinking 12 Angry Men is a beloved classic.

I watched that cuz I had a Henry Fonda phase and I didn't care for it. Lol

If I wanted a courtroom drama, I thought anatomy of a murder was more entertaining. 🤣

I wanna subscribe soooo bad, but $16 a month is a lot for me rn. I did manage to read it using the reader mode on my phone before they upgraded their paywall. :(
I'm glad you're enjoying it, though! Haha

Not that I have anything against women

lmao irl. If you're a straight man, hell even if you aren't, you have something against women.

[champagnexdream]
