Are You Into The Badlands?

At this point in time nothing's new. On TV there are something new being broadcasted however the same kind of theme as being revived. New TV shows and TV series. It's kind of weird that some old movies are revived as new television series such as: Highlanders, Lethal Weapons, Ransom, Royal Pains, Star Wars (Animated), and so many other non-popular movies made into tele-series.

To revive old movies into new ones, same story but new stars (younger actors) is almost disastrous such as the Mary Poppins.

What about talented singers doing the drama and comedy for TV Show, program or series? Not too many will do that but given the proper material or right story for that singer would always be a welcome on prime-time or regular night stint just to have something new for a change. Look at Jann Arden, a popular Canadian crooner, sometimes she's a comedian making people laugh on her style of popping out stories and jokes before and after she sung a song... now she's that talented actress showing her talent for acting in her new JANN television comedy series. It's a series because you can watch it once a week as continuous program of her story of an artist working in the rural community and she is paid "in a barter situation/condition that for every work there is a corresponding payment such as $15,000 worth of chocolates ? or two bulk barrel of cheese." It's not your typical roundabout show but it's funny. It's hilarious that something like that happens.

Well, did you know of TV host who is a millionaire by the amount of cars, vintage cars that he possessed turned out to be payment or salary for hosting a popular night show on TV? i wonder who.

Why are they not paid in terms of monetary currency or cash? Why in monetary value, paying a worker with unnecessary gifts that the worker wont need? Or because the sponsors can only pay in terms of gifts not cash because cash is ... in a cashless society?

The best thing that you can do if payment is in terms of gifts, better own a grocery, store or boutique. Whatever gifts are given as salary or wages, sell those items in your own store  or boutique. OMG! Weird! Maybe that's what happened in old rural areas where old folks are mostly  farmers.  In urban community or in metropolis  wonder what could be the wages? It should be cash and  cheques! If its a cashless society then that's totally a BADLAND! You are into the BADLANDS!!!!!! Your money has no legal tender.
