  • Feeling someone deserves more and having a shit fucking plan to solve it are two different things. We don’t need to be romantic about this

    The writers pushing for the strike were the ones who could make bank on residual payment on streaming, not the ones struggling to find work.

    2021 and 2022 were peak years in the industry. Cutbacks happened to time out exactly with the WGA pushing to strike. Scripts were saved and shelved to be produced somewhere else, because writers have no control over the industry.


  • And to anyone that says blame the producers. No, the Writers are morons. They do not control any industry, capital, or production, they do not even control their scripts. They essentially are America putting sanctions on Russia, and Russia just moving its economy towards Asia.

    WGA are not longshoreman, they write fucking jokes and parts of scripts collaboratively in a room that are then owned by the production company. The moment they pulled out of doing this, producers just moved to other countries, or used old scripts and kept chugging along.

    If IATSE, or Teamsters went on strike, production would actually come to a full stop. WGA just made things slowdown and allowed the AMPTP to plan out how they were gonna fuck all the other unions long term and cut cost. Penguin, Hpuse of Dragon, Dune, all got made during the strike. The money makers for the studios. These stupid fucks just got romantic and lib about what unions can do.

    Say whatever you want, but these people are not my class, these people are not thinking about the proletariat, these people do not understand where there is actually power in a union. They are worthless
