  As I read it, it’s basically saying there’s only one kind of red wine: red. You’re right, but you’re ignoring all of the subcategories that the typical consumers use to talk about it.

  Weed smokers typically consider strains to be either Indica or Sativa, but there’s a whole debate about if those are real differences at all. The plant itself is called Cannabis Sativa, hence why this statement is true.

  Woods said that if the company paid the guild’s minimum rates for child and adult actors it would add 40 percent to the cost of producing the live-action shows, which in some cases would prevent them from turning a profit. “We’d love to come to an agreement with SAG, but not at the expense of turning over the keys to them,” he said.

  But Masur said that explanation was ridiculous. He said Saban earned more than $300 million on “Power Rangers” alone in 1996 and that other children’s programmers, such as Warner Bros. and Disney, manage to earn a profit while paying SAG rates. The guild president said performers on Saban productions are paid a small fraction of the standard rate for the entertainment industry, and often do not receive benefits such as pension, health and residual income from rebroadcasts. He said that actors with speaking parts in Saban productions earn $200 a day, instead of the $559 that SAG has established as the industry minimum.

  Same fight, a different day. Making $300M dollars, but can’t pay SAG minimums of $559 a day for speaking actors.
