Kill the Beast

Here's the kind of story that we've become altogether too used to seeing. The Cannes Film Festival is preparing for protests and problems from unemployed actors and stagehands, who are unhappy about changes to their unemployment benefits.


Ya love that? People who aren't working are mad because the money they receive for doing nothing, the money that they get out of the charity of the society they live in, might be changing in a way that they don't appreciate. Why, how dare anyone interfere with their right to collect!


And they're being taken seriously, lest they force the Cannes film festival to cancel. This is madness. This is something out of an Ayn Rand novel. This is not the way.
