Robert Downey Jr. says he won’t sign for The Avengers 2 unless his cast mates are fairly compensated

Reasons why I love Robert Downey Jr #13192748723598247684396793

Why on earth are they paying him so much more than the rest of them????

Downey’s giant paycheck for “The Avengers” comes from the fact that unlike his co-stars, his participation in the movie was part of a multi-movie contract (i.e., he has one long term contract for the Iron Man movies _and_ the Avengers movies, instead of being hired on a per movie basis). A multi-movie contract strongly favors the actor in contract negotiations because it means the actor is basically a “must have” for the series in question, and Downey used that leverage to negotiate for a MUCH bigger share of the box office profits from The Avengers.

In short, Downey had the advantage of negotiating a multi-movie contract to play Iron Man in all the currently planned Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, whereas his costars were only getting single-movie contracts for The Avengers.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Government Makes Rainwater Illegal

Yep, RAIN WATER IS ILLEGAL.
As bizarre as it sounds, I guess it really shouldn’t be a surprise. We have covered numerous stories of how the government has been chipping away at the rights of land. From survival gardens being seized to the land owners in California who are being forced back on to the grid, people’s rights as land owners are being shredded by local, state and federal governments.
In the latest abuse of power, a man in Oregon has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay a $1,500 fine for collecting rainwater on his own land. Gary Harrington was convicted of nine misdemeanor crimes for filling his three man-made reservoirs with rainwater and snow runoff. The state of Oregon claims the water that fell from the sky, is owned by them and the Medford Water Commission.
As unreal as it may sound, at least 9 states have made it illegal to collect rainwater on your own land. Utah, Oregon, Colorado and a number of other states have passed rainwater laws that either limit or all out ban the collection of rainwater.

Fuck what the government says.now it owns rainwater ? Wow looking forward to the day of Reckoning for this one .

This reminds me of a similar situation back in Bolivia in 2000, and resulted in major riots and a mass movement to protest against the corporate ownership of water. When a private foreign company came to Bolivia, they seized control of local water sources and increased taxes that most Bolivians could not afford to pay, so then Bolivians built their own water wells to collect RAINWATER, which were then seized by the foreign corporation!

Read: the 2000 Cochabamba Protests / Water Wars of 2000

Nobody should stand by and allow this to happen… but the U.S media doesn’t care, they won’t talk about it, and people will remain clueless.

and right now we have a bit of a water shortage in oregon.

i will say this: the fire to react to each and every little thing cools as i age, but nothing has begun to inflame me like the way corporations and judges are snakily inserting themselves into a paradise convened by humans with mother earth; rights which can NEVER truly be superseded by another human, no matter how many paid guns they have, no matter how many corrupt pens in motion. nobody has the rights to tell you that you can not grow food on the soil that supports you. no corporation owns the seeds of this planet. nobody has the right to command you not drink water from the heavens. these are men with puny hearts and dull minds to even dream so far beyond their own power and position.

this would be devastating for Haitians…..but then i know this could happen… some renewable technology would not be allowed here because the US gov said so… and powerful interest said so. the world upside down..

I think it really speaks to the level of American greed and sociopathy that the government feels it can/should control how we use our natural environment to sustain ourselves. Making growing food and collecting rain water illegal? These are things we have done since the beginning of time for survival. Gov’t is just asking for an eventual revolt. Not today, not tomorrow, but eventually.

EEEEDIIIIIT

I have been informed by my close friend and occasional Bullshitometer that this is highly biased and not anywhere near the whole story; particularly of note is that the law on the books has existed for a couple of centuries, and that rainwater collection is actually being encouraged in several states. Which is not to say the arrest is not foolish and shitty, just that it’s not necessarily the global conspiracy it’s made out to be here.

There’s nothing foolish or shitty about Harrington’s arrest, actually. He pled guilty to charges of illegally damming up waterways across his property to create massive private lakes totaling over thirteen million gallons of water. He was given an ridiculously generous plea bargain in which the state waived all penalties in exchange for him simply returning the water to its natural course, and then blatantly reneged on that deal the moment the court’s back was turned.

That’s why he was fined and arrested the second time around— the court wasn’t willing to show leniency after he spat in their face like that.

Why on earth is it illegal? Do y’all have a problem with dengue or malaria or something? (That is the case in Malaysia anyway; that’s why ppl who collect rainwater are also responsible for making sure mosquitoes don’t breed in it, otherwise you get a fine.)

bcuz esp in cali, there are massive water shortages. and there’s all sorts of politics with water sources being redirected and cut off and damned etc—this is why the Great Lakes (which surround Michigan) are under such fucking pressure right now—cuz fresh water that is not polluted to the point of undrinkability is THE resource—it’s been called the modern gold rush. all those places out west in the US where you see major cities and green grass and even farms? a huge population of them were built/grown on *desert* using water that was damned or redirected or whatever.

so lots of these cities/farms/etc rely on keeping their streams/rivers/damns/etc plentiful from rainwater—either the rainwater that goes into the river directly or that gets directed into the water through groundwater. if *every*body starts collecting their own rainwater? then guess who can’t keep their lawns green in a desert? or water their industrial farm’s monocrop?

Okay, but actually, this guy in Oregon: he built enormous reservoirs to hoard millions of gallons of water that needed to go into the watershed—a really contentious watershed where there are huge and longstanding (bitter!) disputes over water rights between farmers, fishermen, and Native communities. Even in southern Oregon there are water shortages. This wasn’t just an issue of The Man coming down on some guy with some rain barrels, this was a white dude in an area full of white-supremacist survivalist compounds, up- and downriver from Native people with disputed water rights, building himself a private lake and hoarding ridiculously enormous quantities of water while salmon runs and farms are going dry.

It’s complicated.

It’s not just that. The man in question claims that he’s only collecting rainwater, but the reality is that he’s illegally dammed waterways that flow through his land. Moreover, he pled guilty to charges of illegal water diversion back in 2007 and agreed to stop blocking water flow in exchange for being let off the hook on all penalties — only to resume doing so the moment law enforcement turned its back.

That is why the judge in the 2010 case ordered the guy’s dams physically destroyed. He’d already proven himself to be a lying snake who could not be trusted to honor any compromise agreement made.
