I need help figuring out what this means: "Do you think this union AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) is necessary for the economic security of its members in our modern economy.
No. People will be creative without it. Modern Internet allows a extremely flat distributed model, with little need for unions. Creative industries have never offered a guarantee of economics, and while its members might be an elite bunch, over-zealous "protection" from new technologies only leaves groups behind.
