The infinite tone deafness to raise prices in the face of a labor battle where you have been universally vilified and haven’t made new content is absolutely mind boggling.

Reminder: This is while we had a deal. And there are countless others currently being arbitrated and or investigated by our union. So, regardless of what we’re asking for and get, the AMPTP still lie, cheat and steal. That’s their business model.

This strike is different because the CEO’s have no passion for film and TV. They are only interested in money and mergers and do not care about the product and especially about the people who create and bring the art to life. Just watch us make them care. #WGAStrong #SAGAFTRA.

AMPTP has Molly and her crisis PR squad. Our PR team…11,600 witty and acerbic writers with plenty of free time and itchy thumbs starved to write, 160,000 actors, Lindsay and the Teamsters and millions and millions of fans who support our art. I kinda like our chances.

Feeling for our industry as a whole. But as a writer who has enjoyed a long and fruitful career I bleed empathy for all the young artists with stories to tell. We will enjoy a boom market again… just not today or tomorrow. Hang in there.

When pitch decks became a thing I was very vocal it was bad and symptomatic of a new breed of higher ups who hired people who didn’t understand story and couldn’t pitch story and needed images like they were training wheels. We r up against folks who don’t get what we do.

We have reached a point in film and TV where not only do our supposed partners not want to treat us fairly but they have no f*cking taste. And the reason they have no taste is cause they have no passion for making art.

Let’s be clear. It’s been over 125 days, if the CEO’s truly wanted a deal and Lombardini knew how to do her job, they would sit in a room with us daily and hammer out a deal. This posturing that they would love to make a deal is false. Their actions say otherwise.

I’ve spent the last hour researching unfair labor practices. Seems from what I’ve read, AMPTP refusing to negotiate in good faith is a violation and makes them liable. Not to mention leaking threats like make us lose homes and go broke. Anyone know the legal ramifications.

While your point is understood and valid exampling with Boy Meets World is a huge swing and a miss. Obviously you never watched the show. Cory was hardly an entitled jock. He was the average kid. And with Feeny at the helm few shows revered education like ours.
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if.

Here’s my opin on Carol and the puff piece. None of it matters. Carol Lombardini is hired by AMPTP to negotiate a deal with two of Hollywood’s most vital unions. We’ve been out since May 2nd and the Actors since July 14th. Don’t care where she eats she is failing at her one job.

AMPTP knows (approx.) the number they will settle with each guild. Right now it’s more of a smoke out and waiting game than a negotiation. This is not a victory it just delays the inevitable a little longer imo. Our most effective move will always be to withhold our work.

Sorry for the publicists who are suffering. As I am for the dry cleaners and restaurants and everyone else. Residual affect is devastating. So, instead of making the story about you, include everyone and spread the word how AMPTP is destroying a city. Public opin matters.
