Yall have seen that guy with the glorious hair holding up a sign saying something like “yes, grandma, I’m still single,” right? Not just me?

Picket signs like that are a great way to raise awareness about something that people are struggling with, allowing people to express their frustrations in funny and biting ways.

And who could do it better than peeps whose jobs it is to write for a living?

    If you were as woefully uneducated about this a short while ago as I was, let me clue you in about the strike itself. These are Hollywood writers, represented by the Writers Guild Of America (WGA), striking for fair compensation for their work, especially for streaming content.

    On the other side of the barricade, we have the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), who represent various media companies and have flat-out denied most of WGA’s requests.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The strike was started only after negotiations failed, with some really pitiful counter-offers, so the WGA Union members voted to strike.

    What this means is that WGA members cannot write for AMPTP companies during the strike, as a show of solidarity in an attempt to deprive the companies of content until they run out of entertainment to provide and are therefore forced to renegotiate terms with the guild.

    Hope Carol Lombardini's "retirement" is part of the strike settlement. Cause she's really out of touch. And stupid.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    And when we say that the writers want “fair compensation”, we really do mean it. For example, Valentina Garza, writer for many popular shows, from The Simpsons to Wednesday, shares a streaming residual check for two episodes of Jane the Virgin. 

    Apparently she got $0.01 for one episode and $0.02 for another, which the streamers rerun constantly.

    Furthermore, according to Associated Press, when accounting for inflation, writer-producer pay has decreased about 23%, with 14% of the decline happening during the last 5 years.

    Fun fact: if the minimum wage of $1.60/hour in 1960 had kept up with corporate profits per capita, even in the 2009 recession, it would have been about $15/hour. In the early days of the pandemic, it would have been about $28/hour. As of 2022, it would be closer to $50/hour.

    Besides pay, writers want better residuals, with writers like Valentina pointing out the pathetic numbers she receives. And just in case you’re wondering, residuals are similar to royalties, but while royalties are paid out by your contractor, residuals are collectively negotiated by unions.

    According to Quora answers, royalties also stay the same, while residuals reduce from 100% to 10%, for example.

    As if Jeff is too strapped for cash to pay the writers a living wage concurrent with the cost of living.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    As for increases in pay, WGA is striving to establish a new minimum for writer-producers. Variety explains that currently the minimum for everyone above staff writer is $7,412 per week. 

    The guild seeks that everyone at the level of co-producer, producer, and above get a minimum pay 25% higher than the story editor tier.

    The AMPTP was willing to create a new tier, but with a minimum of 2-7% above the story editor level.

    There is no living person on earth without Childhood trauma and it is greatly impacting how we act, react, think, believe. So in fact, living, having experiences will result in trauma that is basically a ohysical found on our nervous system and brain that forms a pattern. It is not so much what happens but what happens inside of us during events. I reccoment to read "The myth of normal - trauma, ilnness and healing in a toxic culture" by Gabor Mate.

    The WGA strike is gaining momentum, with many other unions joining in to support them, including the Producers Guild Of America, NYC musicians union, the Australian Writers’ Guild, the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, and the Writers Guild Of Canada joining in, if the AMPTP attempts to look for writing talent abroad.

    The strike has started on May 2 and shows no signs of stopping until the WGA’s demands are met.

    When doing a character writers are given guidelines within which to get to certain plot points. It is up to the actors and the director to "punch up" those lines. That's just facts... don't be ignorant. Nothing is ever written that isn't rewritten and often rewritten again.

    The fact that Wednesday became an overnight sensation for Netflix and Burton, AFTER Ortega changed several lines of dialog should prove she knew her character a bit more intimately than the writers. That's not to say the writers were wrong or bad, because it appears the writers were simply following their orders.

    Not all of BP's categories entertain me, but you know what I do when this happens? I just click on another category that actually does interest me. If the writers' strike bores you to the extent of making a nasty comment, do us all a favor and find something else that interests you.

    Well I dispute that -- not that there's anything wrong with it.

    I'm an artist and I'm not gay as f**k, but that's just by coincidence, not by choice.

    If any one of the writers came up with Quibi I’m sure they’d be long-fired by now lol

    if you are going to make a reference from tv then try: We're not the Gilmore Girls, we can't survive on coffee alone. We need fair pay too! (written by chatgpt, lol)

    AI will never be able to come up with relatable characters for any length of time. If they just want formula BS then they should just slap some tela-novelas on and call it a day... Not that some of those tele-novelas don't have gripping stories for 23 years...

    I think it’s because she created, wrote, and starred in Better Things and was always cooking…maybe…I could be wrong.

    I was surprised to see many TV writers were adults. Based on the typical TV dialogue and plot level, I assumed they were mostly 12 year olds.

    I might get a lot of hate mail, but why don't you writers use this time to write better material. The shows on tv aren't worth my time watching. Its all the same rehashed plots and characters just different actors.

    They aren't using the time to write because they're on strike. That's what a strike is. That is, dare I say it, the defining feature of a strike: the striker doesn't work during it.
