I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where bigotry wasn’t a large problem anymore.

Kind of like getting rid of money.

Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.

Well if WB pays Zaslav more, he’ll do a better job, so that needs to happen at the next board meeting.

In case you were wondering, like I was:

Foals will begin to eat grain, if accessible, within the first month.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

yet here you are…

Sopuli may be run by Finns, but according to https://fedidb.com/software/lemmy the servers(?) are in Falkenstein, Germany

Depriving everyone else of physical cash would just hasten the spread of electronic transactions into the corners of the global economy where it doesn’t already reach: Drug cartels, rural villages in 3rd world countries, etc.

And with that, lack of privacy from prying eyes in governments, banking, and corporate databases.

The infrastructure to accept and process cash would quickly deteriorate faster than you, the one sole cash owner, could spend it, and therefore distribute cash back around the world for it to become useful again.

By the time the physical cash could get sorted, spent, and make its way from your one location, to most places around the world, essentially cash would have become almost worthless, because alternative payment methods would be made, and nobody would be used to using cash anymore.

I thought I recognized the name June Squibb. She’s made quite a name for herself lately!

Measles doesn’t look great on camera.

Oh shit! 😭

Amazon stated they will release the same movie next year with a few new players and more micro transactions.

I like that answer!

24th Century medicine has cured snoring, cancer, and the common cold, but not baldness.

The article does talk about why labor overseas is cheaper. Twice, in fact:

Labor costs in countries where the government pays for health care are often far lower than anywhere in the United States, particularly in California.

One budget document viewed by The New York Times showed the cost of a seven-person set operations team — positions known as “grips” — to be roughly $59,000 for a 30-day shoot in Budapest.

Because of health care, pension and other expenses, it costs about $53,000 to employ just one senior-level grip in Los Angeles for the same time frame,

The US really needs to de-couple healthcare from employment.

Asides from healthcare being a basic human need, it’s a drag on our economy.

As the article says, there are still original distribution prints from 1977 out there, squirreled away in private print collections.

So they might be dragging one of those out for this showing.

As for the original negatives… only Lucas knows.

But who’s going to believe that this will be the original original?

London only. Fuck.

Unless your sidewalks are made of gypsum.
