They were like "How can we justify them having the place we know we need them to have?" and worked from there.
I know a guy living on Central Park West with 2000 sq ft two floor apartment with park views that was paying less than what I paid for 1k sq ft in the middle of Queens. That's a nicer place in a better area than Friends had for less than 3k a month thirty years after the show all because of rent control.
We know they all came from money except Joey and Phoebe. They could also be getting money from family.
Again their living room had to fit six or more. There are episodes where they have six people in Lucy’s house but rarely is it more than four or five.
Seinfeld had 4 main cast and they rarely had anyone else in their places other than the main 4. No one needed to fit a dozen people in a room.
Were you renting living space in NYC in 1994? I was.
Do you know anyone with a ridiculous place because of rent control policies? I know several. Everything about the show makes sense within the context of the time once you realize that eight or so people need to fit on the stage in many scenes
As a kid I asked a friend's dad who was a chemist if magic was real and he replied "Do you think anyone would go into years of schooling for engineering if a shortcut existed?"
It is a wholly constructed faith based partly on fragments of things that existed previously but with no input from those cultures so there's no "authentic" Wiccan beliefs other than those from the 1950s.
you think you know better than someone who worked on tv in NYC at that time?
Mary Tyler Moore's show never had the expectation of holding six or more people in the same room like friends.
All in the family took place in a house. Im not sure how you miss this. It's in the credits.
Lucy and her Husband never had more than a handful of people on screen at once. They dont need the space Friends does.
Friends needs a space for the main cast plus partners and that requires a larger space plus the ability to fit crew which requires large places. The bit about rent control makes perfect sense if you have experience with NYC real-estate.
Some of that is due to the realities of filming in a stage made to look like an apartment as you need the space for the camera crew to fit. This everyone lives in massive places.
It’s a huge assumption on your part that they believed it. It was and it remains an instrument of control. They took considerable editorial liberties, too, with the supposed word of god.
That is an equally large presumption. I happen to agree that some were more interested in control but many were believers.
Anyway, even if they believed it that is STILL NOT EVIDENCE
To them it is. Do you not get that they believe they have the words of their divine being in book form? If their faith is correct it would be proof.
They can be depending on your vision issues. Mine are essentially bifocals where the reading portion isn't visible. If I focus there's a tiny fuzzy line where the readers meet the normal lens.
To be honest I wasn't aware of the sides issue and it seems you might have different problem that requires a third lens.
Ineffective tax policies have different direct harms than other ineffective policies. Wealth taxes frequently do not bring in enough revenue which is a significant problem.
I fear that would rapidly decline into a shitshow as not everyone here is rational or educated in the subjects being discussed. I can easily see this being used abusively
You potentially have an experience with a singular person and you are using that to decide wealth was the motivating factor and are using it to call all wealthy people pedos.
I don’t need counter evidence when the initial claim is this clownish.
