The picket line in front of the Brass Rail restaurant on Seventh Avenue near 50th Street, January 11, 1942, which completed its third year. The AFL pickets wore out 7,264 pairs of shoes and marched 1,728,000 miles, according to union statisticians. The marching goes on as the restaurant management refuses to compromise on its demand that it retain the sole right to discharge employees for service it considers unsatisfactory; the strikers offered to submit the entire dispute to arbitration.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

The Pointlessness of the SAG Strike 2023

In recent weeks, the entertainment industry has been rocked by news of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike in 2023. While the actors involved in the strike have their reasons and concerns, it's essential to critically examine whether this strike is truly necessary or if it might be, in fact, quite pointless.

Economic Impact: One of the most immediate consequences of the SAG strike is the significant economic impact it has on the industry. Thousands of jobs, from actors to crew members, are being affected. Production companies are losing millions of dollars every day the strike continues. Given the economic hardships that many people have faced in recent times, including the COVID-19 pandemic, one must question the wisdom of causing further financial strain on the industry and its workers.

Demands and Priorities: The demands put forth by the striking actors are not unreasonable. However, one could argue that these demands might not be the top priority in a world grappling with more pressing issues. With global crises like climate change, social justice, and healthcare disparities, is a higher salary for already well-paid actors truly the most critical concern? Many people struggle to make ends meet, and it's hard to sympathize fully with actors making exorbitant salaries, especially when so many others are struggling.

Timing: The timing of the SAG strike is questionable, at best. It's happening in an era when the industry is still recovering from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people in the entertainment business are just getting back on their feet after months of uncertainty and unemployment. Striking now seems insensitive to the plight of others in the industry.

Alternative Solutions: Are strikes the only way to resolve disputes and negotiate better terms? In an industry that thrives on creativity and innovation, one would hope for more imaginative and collaborative solutions. Negotiation and dialogue could lead to more mutually beneficial outcomes without causing widespread disruption and financial loss.

Public Perception: Lastly, it's worth considering the public perception of the strike. In an age where people are increasingly disillusioned with celebrities and their lavish lifestyles, a strike like this may only further alienate the audience. The entertainment industry depends on the support and admiration of the public, and a strike that seems self-serving could harm its reputation.

In conclusion, while the actors participating in the SAG strike 2023 may have legitimate concerns, it's crucial to weigh the impact of their actions on the broader industry and society as a whole. In a world facing numerous pressing issues, this strike may indeed appear pointless to many, given its economic consequences and the perceived priorities of those involved. Perhaps there are more constructive ways to address the concerns of actors and create a fairer and more equitable entertainment industry.

Reason I think everything is getting "smart" these days is big corporations trying to find new exciting ways to fuck end users via things like EULAs with No Sue/No Class clauses.

One instance I absolutely think Euros got us beat since any European court would laugh a EULA Arbitration clause out of the room. Frankly forced arbitration should be illegal as well as class action waivers. The right to sue is a fundamental one in our legal system and should not be permanently waivable via contract.

it says something about me that I wanted to add “and drafting major contracts” because of the attorneys who failed to add an Oxford comma, changing the arguable meaning of a clause and costing their client millions of dollars

but yeah, it’s probably not that serious

please please please remember that no matter what your manager says, it is never that serious. unless you are literally performing surgery or defusing a bomb, it simply is not that serious

This situation is even more black and white than most

But in nearly all situations where workers do not show up to work, the question should be, "How did the employers' actions and failures create this situation

and what are they willing to do now to fix it?"

oh by the way, since I guess people haven't heard? don't fucking get on a plane in the US right now (may 5, 2025) if you can help it. a ton of air traffic controllers have walked off the job. it's a nightmare, flights are getting cancelled and diverted. i know two different people who were just left in the wrong state. and this is also prime conditions for another crash. stay on the ground right now.
