I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there (lemmy.world)

I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.

I feel like a movement is actually happening, but slowly. Look at all these unions forming and people striking all around. It gives me hope, to be honest. The media is fighting it hard and somewhat succeeding, but just to an extent. We will win

That sounds like a pretty terrible dystopian movie that should not be made into real life.

So, please, support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Hopefully there will be some good news soon.

Of course. We are all in this together.

Any news on the strikes? Isn't there three different strikes going on at the same time? Writers, Actors, and CGI Artists I think.

WGA strike is basically over now, SAG-AFTRA strike is still going.
