    I did extra or background atmosphere for about 10 years while living in LA. We got paid at the time 40$ for the entire day whether you worked 2 hours or 13 hours. It’s the contract that we signed - and they worked us all day. And we were treated like cattle. Move here, move there, ok you’re fine - get lost. I dreamt of breaking into a larger role but never did. So I gave up to work a regular job, went to college and built my own life. The industry can be really hard when you’re not famous.

      I did too from 1982 until 1990 we were paid terribly. I got my SEG and later SAG and we were still treated like sludge and without true representation. I did do some great stuff, but the dues were just a means to makes us broke and back down to the crappy 40.00 a day.

      Yeah that was very smart of you. TBH if something isn't working out for you, then you need to pick another career/job. It's not just the entertainment industry that's getting slammed. There are far less jobs now due to automation, just go to your local bank and big box stores, where now there are plenty of self-checkouts and ATMs that are far more sophisticated than they were even 5 years ago. Even gas stations now have self-serve registers. More and more industries are becoming like this. Even the medical field. Time to invest in another career.

    Do you remember when Crispin Glover's $765,000 lawsuit against Back to the Future Part 2 set a new precedent for the SAG-AFTRA on the policies for reusing old footage of actors in later movies and episodes? They need to make another new rule like that against the use of Artificial Intelligence to digitally insert actors into scenes for a one-time payment, and never hiring or paying them for anything ever again.

      It's not hard to get people down on their luck to sign over rights for little or nothing, like service and homeless people, some already occasional actors, all with a dream of being seen. If push comes to shove, they can send out "talent scouts" with cameras, cash cards, and contracts to homeless encampment where many are more concerned about "getting well" for a little while than crossing picket lines.

    Times have changed and the gig is up (no pun intended). Many factors led them to the place they are in today. These actors and writers will have to look into other career options. Even the A-list actors will eventually encounter these very issues. This happens in a lot of industries. Jobs change, demand changes, and people are forced to reinvent themselves and go into other careers in order to support themselves. The truth is, entertainment industry is not essential work and many people found other ways to entertain themselves during the pandemic. The consumer has a lot of options now.

    This beast of a conflict that streaming services created is why I am happy that Roku is the only digital service with streaming rights to 2 Broke Girls. HBOmax, amazon prime and Appletv+ used to stream 2 Broke Girls, but I have to guess that Whitney Cummings and Michael Patrick King saw this strike coming (with no specific year in mind) and after those services' first streaming licenses expired, they decided not to sell another license to any streaming service except for the free one, Roku after learning how little they were paid in residuals and royalty checks from 2BG's initial run on those other streaming services. Whitney was probably smart enough to prefer having fans of her show just watch it the old-fashioned ways, syndication and buying physical media home video releases, because her cast and writers still get paid from that, and because she knew firsthand how streaming services would take away from it.

Writers today are talentless hacks who haven't had an original idea in years, if ever. All they do is steal Classics or stories that were written by talented authors many, many years ago. Then.they butcher and rewrite it until it's turned into WOKE GARBAGE, then they try to force it down people throats.

    I support the actors and writers. I don’t have a problem not watching tv or using streaming services. I cut the cord years ago and just pay for 3 streaming services now. However, I barely watch them most of the time. I had already start thinking about pausing or dropping these services for a bit for that reason. Now that I am aware of the strike, I may go ahead and do it. Maybe the strikers should ask their supporters to do this pause/temporarily drop their streaming service) to help them make a point. If they do, they should try to do it in an organized and strategic way and see just how powerful of an impact it might have on the current situation. Maybe folks aren’t willing to give their streaming services up permanently, but doing it for a short period of time is doable for many. If a large enough group of folks do it for a period of time or even on an ongoing rolling bases it might send a message that the studio executives and streaming services can’t ignore. I would do this to show my support. Anyway, just an idea I thought was worth putting out there if it hasn’t been thought of already.

      Actually from what I've read until now, boycott will be counterproductive, because it will show that the products are not needed (not watched) and the stats on new shows will go down, proving they should not be renewed. UNTIL the striking guilds actively ask for boycott, it's better to keep the contracts BUT also watch the c...p out of everything they offer, to produce traffic.

    Discussions, like those at Swingers Diner on Beverly Drive, have been taking place all over Hollywood. Recently, at Jay London's comedy show inside Kanter's Kibbutz Room on Fairfax in Hollywood the harsh realities of the WGA SAG-AFTRA strike have settled in as well.
    Whether it's Swingers or Kanter's Kibbutz Room, until Fran Drescher gets the Writers Strike resolved, the only people affording Swinger's Breakfast Granola or Kanter's Corned Beef Reubens and pickles will be the AMPTP studio chiefs, agency reps and the occasional mail room bootlickers. Beside the demand for 8% of the “ streaming residuals “ the AI acceptance by actors is a major sticking point that needs to be totally rejected.

    I find it humorous and quite ironic that the “actors” that make tens of millions per film are the ones the mainstream media goes to for a sound bite on the disparity of income. When the “A” list actors stand up and demand lower pay so that the people at the bottom can get a raise, I’ll have faith in the industry. If one makes less than $26K per year as a professional in an industry where other people on the same project make hundreds of times more than you, you need to rethink your career path because you’re being taken advantage of.

    The Australian housing market/real estate was cooling off and correcting from 2016 right up until 2019 - and then they acted. This is well documented.
    In March 2020 several taxpayers funded "housing protection schemes" were enacted, things such as slashing interest rates to almost zero, allowing early access to superannuation, "homebuilder" and other renovators' programs, increased first homebuyers grants in addition to pre-existing investor protections such as negative gearing.
    Since 2022, increasing interest rates are being accounted for and countered by unprecedented amounts of mass immigration in order to prevent any price falls through artificially generated demand and therefore artificial shortages. They do not want the correction that started in 2016 after the end of the mining boom to repeat and they are making sure it doesn't - at our collective burden and cost.
    There would be no issue with this self-serving behaviour if the renting class was not forced to contribute to it. This is discrimination plain and simple, which you need to oppose and resist in any manner appropriate to you. This message is aimed at renters and otherwise homeless, you need to present a united front and resolve this problem by any means necessary.
