There's a lot of ways to lose their house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve while you're making 27 fucking million dollars a year. Be careful motherfucker, be really careful.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why do people continue to say stupid things on public forums? I understand the feeling, I don’t understand the posting.
He seems very angry and I understand why. I agree with him actually. My guess is that he believes the strong language threatening homelessness to people deserves strong language demanding class action back.
Yes, I totally agree with him, there are just better ways to get his point across.
More effective ways? Maybe. More diplomatic ways? Definitely. Better ways? I don’t think so.
Like what? Would anyone be talking about it if he was more gentle?
He publicly threatened to set their houses on fire, that's not a smart thing to do.
They publicly threatened to make writers and actors homeless. He's just being more direct about it.
He's very right to be angry. He's also incriminating himself.
He isn't.
It's like a mafia threat. It's definitely implied, but still ambiguous enough that it would be hard to press charges based on that alone.
He didn't, not really. As he clarified, it was only an expression of frustration and a warning to execs that saying shit like that can lead to a type of escalation that neither side really wants.
Yeah it's human.
Hope they don't use it as an excuse to attack him. You don't often get the benefit of the doubt these days.
It's very unclear from the quoting here, but he's responding to an anonymous executive who said they should just drag out negotiations until they start losing homes to force them into a deal. So Perlman is defending the good folks here.
