That seems like a lot of money but those guys can carry a piano under each arm.
How on earth can they make ends meet? Horrible, horrible.
It's not easy out there for a pimp.
If i were a carpenter i build a barrycade.
So much for the value of a college education..
Hey, it's good money if you can get it, but I think I'll not worry about spending my money at Carnegie Hall.
How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
(In the thickest possible yiddish accent) "Prectice. Prectice."
Are you freaking kidding me? It's irresponsible to pay non talent that much. If they just want to spend money, hire four people for each job.
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady it would be a considerable social downgrade for me to move into your mortgaged to the hilt castle.
I set 'em up, ricpic knocks 'em down.
But in this particular case, the correct answer is "Join a union".
Carnegie Hall. Some place I'll never go.
The musicians probably dont make that much.
I'm fine with them striking, no matter how much they make.
I'm just not fine with laws preventing offering their jobs to somebody else.
They didn't dare report how much money goes to the guy in charge of the fire sprinklers.
I'm willing to bet that those positions could be filled with equal or better individuals in each of those fields for a fraction of that cost, and the rest could be given to charity or used to lower ticket prices. Somebody got a problem with that?
Yes, unions.
"Non-profit" does not mean you cannot profit; it only means you cannot issue stock and pay dividends.
Sportsfans, on the docks of New Orleans circa 1973 the illiterate long-shoreman's union rep who did nothing but provide ice water to the cargo handlers (even in winter--meaning he had NOTHING to do during those months) made 15,000/yr.
PS: I should add that the actual cargo-handlers were pulling down approx $70-80,000/yr at that time--not bad for people who were mostly HS drop-outs.

Obama agrees.
I wonder if there's a union for the paid stooges like Chad Henderson who post progressive shit on social media? They're employees. (They would not qualify as 'independent contractors' at least under Cali law.) Shouldn't their working conditions and hours and wages and benefits and breaks and clothing etc. be regulated? In the name of Fairness and Social Justice? Bring on the collective bargaining and the grievance procedures!!
Hell, I bet the toilet butler beats them all.

You can't do that. Why that's just anti-communist.
I have heard that one of the reasons that concerts don't go long is that no one wants to pay the unions overtime.

Holy shit, like that matters when you look at those salaries. lulz.
Based on the apparent ethnicity of those names, I'd say that Carnegie Hall is a bastion of white privilege.
