Actor Ben Affleck said that Hollywood needed to change how it worked in order to better align incentives for actors and the rest of the business.
Part of that criticism is that actors take a big paycheck instead of creative control in order to protect against the threat of cancel culture and other pitfalls of the industry.
‘I’m one errant remark away from being canceled, or I’m one movie bomb away from never working again.’
In an interview with Deadline, Affleck explained how his venture with his buddy Matt Damon tries to realign incentives to improve the entertainment product being offered to audiences.
“Part of what we’ve proposed to artists when they take on a greater responsibility around the movie is that you then get afforded a broader latitude and freedom to tell your story, but it only works when you have people that are really dedicated to it and bring real passion. When you have that, our belief is you’re going to get the best possible results creatively. You’ll have people that, from both a commercial and creative standpoint, care about what an audience experiences.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
