These guys never complain about their working conditions and they are grossly underpaid. Right now they are at work eight miles from my house putting out a stubborn 1,100 acre forest fire in very rough and steep forest terrain.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike will continue indefinitely after the guild could not reach an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) to resume negotiations.
“As of now, there is no agreement on these items, because the AMPTP said they needed to consult with their member studios before moving forward,” the WGA Negotiating Committee said on Friday night. You can read their statement in full here.
When the strike first began, TVLine heard from multiple sources that the guild was steeled to go at least six months if that’s what was needed to make any headway on their multiple asks.
At the center of the negotiation: An acknowledgment of, and correcting for, the way that streaming has affected the work, compensation and working conditions of writers. “Over the past decade, the companies embraced business practices that slashed our compensation and undermined our working conditions,” the Writers Guild of America West wrote in a tweet. “We are asking to restore writer pay & conditions to reflect our value to this industry. The survival of our profession is at stake.”

I hope the strike goes on forever. They just pump out woke femtard crap now and get angry when people won’t pay to watch it.
On the other hand, it’s a perfect moment for conservatives to start creating media with meaning.
Excellent idea!
WONDERFUL! I can go back to watching MST3K and the Nostalgia channels were I am just ENTERTAINED, not re-educated!
Trump should come out in support of the writers and they will all go back to work just out of spite
MST3K among tons of watchable stuff before the modern era.
I’ve watched a few episodes of McCloud on DVD recently.
Classic MI with Peter Graves is another diversion.
There is growing hope Leftist Hollywood will be destroyed forever and be thrown into the dust bin of history where the perversion and deviancy of those sickos belongs.
I could care less about this bunch of commie propagandists.
Six months? We can only hope. That would destroy Hollywood.
Yeah! I like the way you think

My thoughts exactly.

Feel-good headline of the day!
Gee, what a shame.........
Let’s be frank, when the most popular movie of the week is Barbie, we are a sick nation.
There’s a strike somewhere?
Hollywood gets shut down and no one notices! LMAO!
