I am legit penniless and moving after a full decade in the industry, because the bougiest union thought they deserved to be upper class rather than middle class. I actually hate these people and their status driven desires to own homes in the nicest neighborhoods of NY and CA. To have their kids in private school with the producers kids. O it’s hard in Cobble Hill?

The writers strike ruined the industry and moved so much work to Canada, England, and Korea. I have no skills outside film production and I am going from middle class to homeless for the worst people who write Blue Bloods and Jimmy Fallon jokes. I fucking hate writers and they are all pieces of shit.

Craft unionism is not bringing about socialism, it’s bringing about different hierarchies and desires between jobs. The Wobblies were right about everything. I fucking hate you writers. You are closer to the producers than just about anyone on set. You are fucking country club shits. I hope you all get stuck writing cop shows forever you fucking trash

    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.
