If voice actors are represented by the same union as all the film and TV actors then they never had a chance. United Airlines had a similar situation in the 90's where flight dispatchers were represented by the same union as the mechanics - but were outnumbered probably 10 to 1. So dispatch pay and working conditions were an afterthought to the union and even if every dispatcher voted no, if a contract was good to the mechanics it would still pass.

I made the mistake of buying an international V20 model at the beginning of 2018, which didn't have VoLTE capability. When they started shutting down 3g networks here it could no longer make phone calls. :( If it weren't for that I'd still be rocking it

These stories piss me off, because I tried from January to May to buy a Chevy Bolt from a dozen plus dealers and all I found was markups, falsely advertising customer pre-ordered vehicles as available for sale, and even 3 year old models with 5000 miles being advertised as "new."

I finally gave up and bought a used car from an independent honest dealer. All this talk of EV's not being able to sell is just the dealer tactics coming back to haunt them and I say fuck them

Glad to see progress being made on this front. Local justice movements like this are a bulwark against state and national level fascist gerrymandering and election stealing efforts as well.

That's interesting you say that because building nuclear plants is also a "bloody nightmare", see Vogtle, Hinkley Point, Flamanville, etc

Budgets are a real thing. If you tie up $28.5 billion constructing say, the Vogtle #3 and #4 reactors, you are taking away significant amounts of money that could have already produced working wind and solar installations that would produce far more power. Stating that reality doesn't make me "evil," get a grip.

Additionally, with upgrades in high voltage transmission lines and grid-level storage systems the need for nuclear or fossil fuel baseload in the future is going to be far less than you expect

starting to add more nuclear capactiy so in 10 years we can use it, isn't a bad thing.

Unfortunately this is only true if the money tied up building a reactor for 10 years doesn't take away from the budget for wind and solar projects. If it isn't then you're literally stealing clean energy from the present to hopefully get roughly 1/4 that rate of power production in a decade
