Orthanc @orthanc.nz · 06/10/2026Wasn't Peter Jackson heavily involved in getting laws passed to prevent unions in parts of the film industry? Pretty sure there was a lot of press at one stage about over work, working conditions, burn out and worse at weta workshops. 120
Simon Lyall @slyall.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yes, that is what other people say and I'm saying they are wrong The question is: Did he become a billionaire in a moral way? not: Is this guy perfect and has never done anything wrong? 100
Orthanc @orthanc.nz · 06/10/2026The general reason for the "there are no moral billionaires" is that to assess that level of wealth, no matter how good you are in your field, generally means that at some level money has been not fairly distributed to the labour producing the work. 230
