@@soloshottie Yeah, those are not strikes. A strike is a refusal to work organized by a body of employees as a form of protest, typically in an attempt to gain a concession or concessions from their employer.

@@SharkVisionStudio You can see them. None of this is private. Also, nothing is a big ask. It is all basic stuff to ensure that writers can live off of writing.

It's late stage capitalism. Nobody is getting anything

Paid, but not "overpaid" which is why they have a "guild" to begin with... to try to bully people into paying them more.

@@baconoverlord7982 The people who run their companies doing less than 20% of what they do make 300X what they do. Demanding a living wage and future job security isn't being 'overpaid.' Especially considering studios often demand that their writers move to places with exorbitant costs of living. You want the strike to end and not see strikes happen again? Demand minimum wage reflect cost of living. *OR* demand that things that lead to post war boom. 90% marginal income tax on wealth over 45 million, capping rent at $1000 and mortgages at roughly $120K.

@@idigamstudios7463 A "living wage" isn't what they are asking for, lol. A "living wage" to live comfortably in hollywood is probably 5x as much as most people get in the rest of the country... that's the first problem. Second, having a position in a production company of CEO or equivalent is not something you can say shouldn't be a high-earning position because the company doesn't exist without them. And.. yes, I demand they get minimum wage. That's what they SHOULD be getting... across the board. Actors included with only very specific exceptions.

@@baconoverlord7982 So I addressed the first point, the demand that they live and work in these high cost cities. Second thing you said about CEOs is actually wrong. Like provably mathematically wrong. CEOs, *especially* those making such disgustingly large sums, lose their companies money and tend to make really bad decisions. This is caused by two problems; one is the Dunning Kruger effect combined with their wealth they don't surround themselves with people who give good advice but contradict them. Meaning they don't compensate for their blind spots. Second is a corporate culture created in the 80s in which CEOs and shareholders see their companies not as businesses to be managed but a coffer they can ransack for their own wealth. See the absolute desolation of General Electric by this same mindset. tldr; CEOs are not your friends, they don't earn what they have. They get it by nepotism and exploitation. If you don't stand with labor you're a tool of management. (who will treat you like that, an object to be used and thrown away)

I support it too, because hopefully it means the destruction of Hollywood. Get rid of the whole corrupt, elitist, p3d0 enterprise.

@@urielandbb9725 literally all the amazing shows that have came out in the last few decades have had amazing writing and even better writers.

​@@suppositorylaxative3179not to mention your gonna have bad writing if the studios rush you and give you no time to perfect your writing

​@@urielandbb9725dude pls grow up

True. There are movies and shows that are really well made but if the story is not engaging to me, I won't re-watch them. On the other hand, there are productions that are worse in terms of quality of visual effects, sounds, fights, lighting etc., but if the story captures me, and especially if actors aren't made of wood, I can literally re-watch it 3 times. Don't forget that movies and shows are, in the end, a medium for storytelling. We've been telling stories probably for as long as we have speech, while cameras are a really new invention.

@@Kasiarzynka Example. And some will not like this. Joss Whedon is an ASS. Sex Addict. But he is a Stellar WRITER. Look at all his shows.

I'm worried it won't work though. Big studios are very rich, they can afford to just wait out the strike and try and force them to accept a bad deal.

Have you seen all the garbage on TV and in the movies? You could fire 90% of them and lose nothing.

ChatGPT could write up an entire Marvel script and you would be none the wiser. That's because it's not a "robot" but it takes what humans have already written, and interprets and rearranges the words in the way you ask it to.

​@@matbroomfield That's because of the studios, too. Many studios refuse to take a chance on something that's not some canned crap that follows a formula that's been shown to make money. I mean, the ONLY thing these companies care about is next quarter's profits.

@@matbroomfield It sucks because the writers aren't getting the support, pay and time they need to make a good product. When the pay sucks and deadlines are tight, you get high turnover, poor training, and rushed products. It's no different than any other industry. If they rushed and cheaped out car manufacturing the way they do on writers, people's cars would be bursting into flames left and right.

@@matbroomfield I haven't really watched much TV or movies basically since the last writers strike in 2008. Has it gotten that bad?

Mr. YF. nailed it, naaaailed it!

TransDev, San Deigo, is dealing with a strike right now. The companies only purpose is to 'manage the workers,' think basic hiring processes, and ensure the schedules are being filled... that sort of thing. Nearly Ten Million dollars, each year, go to this company for the sole purpose of this 'middle management' of which the major duty is Scheduling. Talk to any driver about the work loads they are doing to try and meet the routes, or passenger about delays in said routes, to really judge that schedule. Boxes of paperwork still sit in the offices about lunch break violations, because the schedules are that bad. Yet the very concept of using all those millions to hire even more drivers to over-schedule isn't even considered by Trans-Dev's parent company or the government that ultimately pays for all of it. Better sending that money to some big multinational... for... reasons? Ah tax payer funded corporate-socialism! The 'sub-contracting' thing is a beautiful part of skimming from the top. Get some additional overhead going for a simple task by demanding the ability to contract the work out to others, and you can throw three companies at the 'trough!' As long as the same shareholders own all three companies... win for them! The only efficiency brought to the system is how fast Tax-Payer Funds get bled out of America.

The rich use our tax dollars to fund their selective socialism. If they run out of money, we bail them out. Their businesses fail, we bail them out. They don't want to pay back loans, we bail them out. So while the rest of us live in a pseudo democracy, they live in a socialist society.

We go through that all the time us working people they mad they literally get millions of dollars y mad do you know how happy that would make some one

You don't understand anything. You know nothing capitalism. You don't understand that the company takes on greater risk

😂😂😂 no we wouldn't because the actual issue is not a lack of unions, but an overabundance of foreign workers, outsourcing, minimum wages, companies not wanting to pay for training, and many other polices implemented at the federal level.

@randomusername5242 right, it's the impoverished immigrants fault we people who still have active jobs, multiple jobs, aren't being paid enough to afford basic necessities.

@@Alex_Barbosa It actually is, you increase the overall labor pool with people willing to work for less, and they lower the overall labor value. Next, keep printing money and spending irresponsibly, and the purchasing power of that labor is lowered.

@randomusername5242 Wages are not some inherent feature of the universe out of our control. This robbery from workers is a choice by the employers, enforced by the federal government. Wages can be raised, on a dime, and enforced by law, whenever and wherever they decide. They just don't because we still go to work regardless because we need money to not die in this country. Wages, as they are right now, is not representative of labor value. In fact, wages can never equal labor value, but that's another discussion entirely. But wages, as they are right now, is a choice, made by congress and their lobbyists. They keep it as low as possible to increase profits as much as possible for as long as they can get away with it. It is a choice. One they could change if they actually wanted to.

@@Alex_Barbosa Yes, raise the minimum wage and guess what happens? The cost of everything else is increased as well to reflect the increased cost of doing business. Remove the minimum wage, end immigration, reign in social speeding that ads nothing, and end the practice of politicians passing bills that far outpace the national income. Your communist indoctrination is wrong.

@@anuninformedidiot3896 if you were going to ignore what people are saying then why comment at all?

Unfortunately, the ownership class has been eroding working class rights in this country, and solidarity strikes are illegal in the United States. On top of that, the right wing union leaders at the top of IATSE and SAG have stuck with the gift to the owner class of no-strike clauses. I'm sure tons of actors and production people would love to gang up on Hollywood, but they can't unless they want their unions decertified or fined. Get out the bootlickers at the top, and put in people like Adam, remove those no-strike clauses, and use that collective power to tear down the right of the ownership class to oppress us.

Unless their fields have unionized and the unions themselves join the strike, that's simply not a good idea. It's all well and good for an actor with brand power, and therefore leverage, to refuse to work. It's something else entirely for people who actually work to survive to deprive themselves of that work and risk getting blacklisted. Unions have power and protection that non-unionized individuals simply don't. This is why corporations union-bust so aggressively. Getting the rich and famous on board would obviously be a boon. The regular folk on the ground, however, simply don't have the latitude to join things like this without serious backup.

@@onamattapeeya Artificial Illiteracy can't even properly avoid tautology, and it steals actual artists' work and uses it as input. Decent movies are still being made, and some actual gems have been released recently. The real reason why shows suck lately is because companies know people will watch whatever garbage they make, so they underpay and rush their writers to make shitty products. AI will make the issue even worse because Hollywood will need to care even less. The whole AI thing is designed to give already rich and powerful assholes power over our culture at the expense of living people whos work is stolen by the AI. How about we force billionaires (you know, people who already waste huge amounts of money on glorified chatbots) to decently pay artists to make good shows and movies, instead of letting Hollywood care even less about art? I personally want real people who actually understand human psyche to make things that speak to me personally, instead of watching the product created by an algorithm incapable of coming up with truly new ideas.
