Even after more than one hundred days of a nationwide strike of Hollywood writers, studio heads are monumentally out of touch with the most basic demands that those writers are unified around winning.
Since time is on the side of the studios (their upper management is not living in precarity) there really needs to be a way to pressure the studios to act quickly, say a sabotage and vandalism campaign that begins 10 days after the start of the strike.
Given SCOTUS (specifically the Federalist Society jurists) have ruled consistently for companies and against human beings, we can’t trust the US federal state to side with the public (though California recently allowed strikers to get unemployment benefits — i think).
Also it might be a good time to create some non-profit media projects that hire people at fair rates.
