The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

      That’s exactly the myopic thinking that put us in this situation, so you shouldn’t be surprised to find this person.

      Did you even read the post they replied to? It said that all American workers are underpaid. That’s objectively wrong. This person was pointing that out.

        It’s fucking hyperbole. Obviously not literally everyone is underpaid (such as but not limited to CEOs). Like, if ya make a comment like what I responded to it comes off as a snarky and you will get shit on for it.

          Ok but you attacked someone for saying that they personally aren’t suffering, even though they weren’t suggesting they speak for everyone either… unlike the other comment

        I only said people are starving because some are, and it’s avoidable. But everyone in America is grossly underpaid compared to executive pay and corporate wealth.
