Let’s think about this differently..

Well…with labor finally getting it’s act together and going out on strike for a bigger share of profit that comes from their labor, we need to talk about this differently…the headlines read like “UPS strike will cost the economy billions”…when it should be “the greed of UPS management is causing the economy to lose billions” or “the writers and actors strike is going to shut down Hollywood” when it should be “the greed of the production companies is going to shut down Hollywood” ,,,you get the idea…when the cost of paying the actors and writers what they are asking for and what they deserve, it would only cost around 600 million dollars a year while the production companies made over 30 billion dollars last year on the backs of this labor…and one of the largest sticking points is the fact that the production companies are proposing that they can scan the image of any actor and own it and use it forever for a one time hourly fee…and scale would be about 500 bucks while the production companies could use that image to make unlimited movies and unlimited millions…we need to support these strikers in any way we can…after all, the workers at Amazon who are going to go out on strike have made Jeff Bezos the richest man in the world…shouldn’t the workers get good working conditions and a cut of that hundreds of billions they have made for Bezos? It only seems fair…geez…
