Nah, player should get whatever owner is sucker enough to pay him. "We" or the state, should have nothing whatsoever to do with it. If you don't like baseball, don't watch, or go. For those who do, their money pays his salary out of the owner's profits. It's a business.— Tom Jones (@1013thom) March 4, 2019
Also paying baseball players less wont magically increase teachers salaries it’ll just make billionaire team owners even richer— beefy baby (@evangrondner) March 4, 2019
I don't really agree, for once. Actors can do 16 hour days during movies, living in trailers, for weeks or months. It's hard work. And entertainment and recreation is important for people's sanity. All income should be controlled - US docs make waay to much too, for example.— Kimmo Jaskari (@kimmojaskari) February 11, 2020
Very perplexed by how people keep misinterpreting what I’m saying— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 11, 2020
I think Peter is saying If you are a musician for example and you call that a job, you're being insincere. As it's entertainment which isn't an essential role in society and shouldn't be classified as a "job".— Maya Wilkinson (@Inspiredarts_uk) February 11, 2020
I could be wrong though.
we on the same page for all this, teachers, doctors, firefighters are integral jobs for sure, my issue was the dismissal of the other professions that very much take hard work, and often contain much less joy than most think— desi mulatto (@TristanSeyek) February 12, 2020
its not subjective, there is a caliber of dedication it takes to be a professional in sports/entertainment industries that most people can't do or couldn't handle. people outside the shit think it's all fun but most of the time, they work longer hours than most— desi mulatto (@TristanSeyek) February 12, 2020
Well yeah we agree on that, but those are both jobs, the compensation is the issue— desi mulatto (@TristanSeyek) February 12, 2020
Entertainment is different from art/creative development.— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 11, 2020
Entertainment is distraction. Entertainment is there to amuse the slaves.
you are not listening— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 11, 2020
They are not jobs that require the level of economic compensation that some experience now. Nothing is. Nobody that special has ever lived or done any "job" to merit that kind of economic wealth. Especially entertainers.— Claus Karlsen (@ClausKarlsen) February 11, 2020

I’m sorry - Are you actually trying to muster some kind of normal conversation? I suggest not— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 11, 2020
I suggest not, as well. Normal has been historically insufficient. However, I'm open to intelligent dialog.— Logan Hunt, LMT, FRCms (@loganhuntlmt) February 11, 2020
If you have minimum wage in society then you should have maximum wage.— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 12, 2020
And who controls it? The public. You know that thing we call democracy?
Morons like you misunderstand that true democracy is economic democracy & true freedom is freedom to survive without financial coercion.
That has nothing to do with economic democracy. That’s precisely the kind of democracy that’s ruining the world. Buying presidencies. Monopolies. Shutting down legislation to improve the environment....All economic democracy in YOUR context, which is actually totalitarianism— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 12, 2020
In a democracy you’re always going to have winners and losers after election cycles and legislative battles. One side will be happy with the outcome and the other side will cry foul...they’ll never except the outcome and look for every excuse in the book for why they lost.— mr. skinny (@BasqueTurd) February 12, 2020
Most musicians make bugger all . The ones that are rich are the 1 percent of musicians if that— james clark (@jamescl37114501) February 11, 2020
Wrong... I agree with a lot you have to say...— Darin Howard (@PositiveActionU) February 11, 2020
But what gray and dark world do you live in?
I notice the extremely well done music in your videos.
Isn't that work?
It takes a lifetime of skill and craftsmanship to do music, entertainment professionally - in a monetary society.
Hmmm... And a writer is a job?— Pedro Vorph Afonso (@PValknut) February 13, 2020
Peter....My main passion is painting but I also do painting for a living (self employed) because it's the only thing I'm good at.— Maya Wilkinson (@Inspiredarts_uk) February 11, 2020
I don't have bosses watching me and I'm not as alienated from my own labour as a regular employee would be.
So am I insincere too?
The point is no human being, especially one owning a SPORTS TEAM should afford a 30 million dollar mansion— Peter Joseph (@ZeitgeistFilm) February 11, 2020
Gerrit Cole, a baseball pitcher, is going to be paid $35 million. How much do teachers make? Firefighters?— John J. (@JohnJ60080420) February 11, 2020
But moviemakers, athletes, musicians provide a very valuable service: they divert the population.
Short-term though: tax them at a very high rate. Which most people support.
