Because Joe Bufalino, a first assistant director who committed suicide, was in the Directors Guild of America.
And the unhoused Toronto production assistant who was taken in by location manager are both in the International Alliance of Stage and Theatrical Employees.
I know people who did it for religious reasons and I know people who did it because their kids needed extras to be able to attend school at all, and regular schools didn’t have the staff and/or the ability, ie: one friend has an adopted son with FAS who, when he was stressed, needed to run outside around the building a few times before he could sit still for a few more hours.
He was finally able to graduate at 21 … a crowning achievement for him and his family.
Not much has changed since I had a student loan in 1989 for one year of college. When I graduated in '90 my interest rate was 12% and by the time I could pay it off it was 2.5 x what I’d borrowed.
Canada’s post-secondary education is cheaper for citizens, but the powers-that-be have decided to bring in thousands of foreign students - who pay through the nose - to help fund educational institutions who’ve been starved of gov’t funding for decades.

Joshua and Conner lived seven miles from each other in homes operated by the same company, EduCare Community Living Corp. – part of a network of homes in the U.S.
Imo the real problem here is America’s privatizatiion of medical care, esp LTC homes. Why would a company do what is medically necessary to care for people when that costs more than doing the bare minimum … with staff having to follow cost-cutting protocols BEFORE calling an ambulance!
It’s no different than how for-profit jails let people die instead of paying for treatment.
America needs a complete overhaul of how capitalism works in medical care.
Unfortunately you’re probably right. But the fact remains that if gov’ts don’t clamp down on unfettered capitalism it will end up killing us all … probably through a combination of poisoned food and water, and a medical system that will save the rich but let the rest of America die.

“We are thus compelled to return to a society where taxes lead to tangible public services, healthcare is a given right, not a privilege and where schools are havens of learning, unmarred by the pervasive reach of politics.”
Canada’s gleaming palace of prosperity is actually a slum run by greedy politicians and hedge funds who just want to steal everyone’s money for themselves.
Born and bred in Canada, but if I could afford it I’d head to Europe as well.
