Do you live in NY I wanna see something
just pull up the rent prices. it is not that deep
random whataboutisms don’t help your case
It's not a whataboutism it's literal proof that these people aren't privileged

it’s scary when a very simple point evades someone like this
why are you choosing between writers and factory workers lol
they're all working class citizens under billionaire ceos just asking to be paid in a equitable and reasonable way
And where did I suggest otherwise? I’m just saying there’s about 1000000 other causes I care about more than John Doe not being able to afford living in Hollywood cause he got bored of living in Nebraska and always wanted to write for Jimmy Fallon
Yea because they chose a job that they knew pays like sjit because they wanna make movies. People in poverty aren’t working film jobs cause they can’t afford to take that financial loss
It went from "lol writers make bank" to "they chose a job that pays like s***"

Notice I said NETFLIX writers
It’s without a doubt a totem pole thing. There’s only so much media coverage, attention, finances etc to go around.
Which is why i said "ACTIVE". U rather see strikes for other industries happen than one that's is already happening doesn't really make sense to me.
And it's a union v industry thing, people that need to know what's going on know whats going regardless of how much press their strike gets
If y’all wanna see the tide raising all support unions. Like this one.
my only point is solidarity would help their case AND the average american worker’s too. there’s a reason these writers’ struggles don’t resonate with joe the plumber.

Notice my point about streaming services lowballing their employees due to contracts made before they were the norm

That’s exactly why the union exists lol lack of empathy

You think there’s no other strikes / union causes going on rn?

if you want empathy, show empathy. if they have the skills to write about people struggling on minimum wage, for example, they should know that they are in fact privileged.

Right I’m sure their feeling privileged skipping meals for rent

You think Netflix is lowballing their employees? Lol
Absolutely not.
Anyone supporting this strike is ableist because people with anxiety need Marvel movies for comfort + mental health.

don’t you have to make double or more of the rent to even get approved?
You think Netflix is lowballing their employees? Lol
Knowing what I know yes nigga I'm not talking out of my ass here
don’t you have to make double or more of the rent to even get approved?

this is why I wanted more information. If they’re literally making 30k a year as a full timer I’d say f*** yes strike.
