Hyscience:

When you hear that the average stagehand at Lincoln Center in NYC makes $290K a year, the very loud and clear message is that yes, unions are involved … and it definitely has nothing to do with fair wages for an honest day’s labor … as is also true for public sector unions that are breaking the country.

Any idea how much a stagehand at the Kennedy Center makes?

Because the guy presenting the honor below was taking home $400K at the time, so…

(And yeah, I’m on another Who kick — it’s like pon farr — so you’ll all have to suffer for a while because The Who Is Better Than That Stupid Band You Like.)
