    Is Biden going to break this strike like he did the railroad worker strike?

    Is this more wanting endless residuals? I really find myself not sympathetic to people wanting endless paychecks for work they already got paid for.

      The companies are making record profits off of those same writers and artists.

      If you’re unsympathetic maybe stop watching and consuming media? Good luck to you

        Several companies are making record profits from my work, and they aren’t currently paying me anything for that.

          Maybe you should consider renegotiating your contract

          Are you suggesting that because you are being exploited other people should be too… lol

          Rising tides lift all boats. Don’t look down on others because they’re struggling with you, lift yourself up with them.

      Wait, it’s ok that the companies get endless profits from media, but not the people that created it?
