I'm a bestselling author on strike as a film and TV writer because people who are writing shows you love get to work for a few weeks a year under the current systems and are doing door dash or driving Ubers to survive.
I'm a bestselling author on strike as a SAG-AFTRA performer because 13% of working actors are hitting the $26,000 level they need to get healthy insurance.
I'm on strike to help because it means something if I'm on strike, it gets the word out and it matters. I'm on strike because it helps raise everyone else up.
It's not blase. It's frustrating and upsetting as hell to have stuff I made stop being made, for stuff I care about be out there and me unable to help it.
I'm not sure if you are arguing for the successful writers and actors to strikebreak, or if you just think that the people who make the things that entertain you and sometimes make life worth living do not deserve homes and food and families and the respect that comes from a day's work for a day's pay. Either way, I'm proud to be on strike.
