UGHHHHHHH. I hate this and I hate all these comments and articles. I have been so wrapped up in all this stuff and it is so upsetting. One thing I had not heard yet was his commentary on union wages…there is so much to unpack there and I don't even know where to start. I do not think he has even an ounce of knowledge about tech for performance spaces or the union. He just says shit like this and does not think about who he is talking about or what info he might need. People just got done fighting for those union wages and now he is making comments like that. I would be curious to hear his thoughts about how much the stars performing there make and whether or not it is too high. Overall, I continue to be flustered and I do not understand how someone with so little experience was able to put himself in a position of power at a performing arts center as large as the Kennedy Center.
