@kzap333 @p_pogudin @__ChrisLee sounds akin to 'right to work' laws which enshrine the right to work in unsafe conditions for too many hours for too little pay... been reading about them in Kim Kelly's "Fight Like Hell" on the history of labor unions!

Yes & also the degree to which various guests do & don't 'go along with it' is part of what made the original Muppet Show such a trip to watch. Some guests seem unsure why they're even there. Some see the Muppets as 'people'. Steve Martin actually out-Muppeted the Muppets. https://t.co/ZYONSMNFVI

^^ Been reading 1982 Avengers comics today via the Marvel app. Wasp is the 'chairperson' of The Avengers & I am so happy for her. The two issues featuring Tigra that started 1982 were wonderful too, & I was sorry to see her go. https://t.co/NDXObJ3uOV
