-----it will take me two years to get into the WRC and Speedy Gonzales is gone over the horizon but Warner Brothers will still be around. I am asking this as a serious question because there is a distinction between how the live-action film industry and the animation industry operate. The animation industry does not go cartoon by cartoon. People are employed by an actual company and they have a job, but in the film industry, they are not. Which is it going to be in the digital gaming sector? Will it be digital game by digital game or will it be a company that actually has employees and a premises that can be seen and it can be verifiably assessed whether there is a growth in employment and that the employment is quality employment and that there is an actual employer and employee?
