the companies are requesting the writers to write the wokeslop, these decisions come from the top, scripts probably get auto-rejected if they don't have a minimum qty of gays and blacks in them
iger already pledged to double down on gay shit in disney movies
The unions aren't asking enough and strike-after-strike they cave to studios when it comes to free writing. Every goddamn WGA election cycle everyone running campaigns on "NO MORE FREE WRITING! NO MORE 'PRODUCER PASSES!'" And as soon as they're elected and there's a labor negotiation...nothing fricking happens. The topic of getting rid of free writing is literally the "two more weeks" meme.
No they don't, they get write offs. That is why they are making up a number like $1.5 billion to write it off as a lose because they are just removing a few programs from their streaming service to avoid paying taxes.
Why would he? He's corporately owned property whose laundering billions through Ukraine. The tax code has always been written with loopholes for the ultra rich to avoid paying taxes and he has been in government for 50 years to only benefit his pay masters.
They pay taxes. Those taxes are based on revenue. The write off reduces the taxes but only because their revenue is down. They lost money.
Ironically the one area they were getting tax rebates was Florida, but after Iger got mad about trannies, they are going to lose them. They were saving half a billion.

I love how this is literally just the lib-speak word for "saving".
Maybe if libshits ever practiced the idea of saving money; or understood why it's a better idea to do so in the first place rather than just impulsively spending money on overly expensive apartments & cars they don't need or overpriced consumables like videogames and weed; then maybe they wouldn't be "living paycheck-to-paycheck" in the first place and they wouldn't need Big Daddy Government to take money away from people who DO know how to save and then "redistribute" it to people who don't.
What could you be saving for when you have billions of dollars collecting dust?
No matter how much you lick those boots, billionaires won't share the money with you
With what money? 2/3 of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and the minute poors try to imitate rich people, they change the rules. Look at the great depression or more recently Gamestop.

Gamestop and the endless real estate and covid bailouts certainly hurt people's opinions. The 2008 bailouts pretty much wrecked the E.U. - it's now constant squabbling and threatening to pull out.
>What could you be saving for when you have billions of dollars collecting dust?
For inevitable billion dollar costs which will inevitably crop up when a movie flops, the economy has a downturn, etc. It's literally rule number one of financial responsibility that you don't spend money that you don't have to. You save it for if and when you need it. And to save up more than you eventually end up needing is all the better. Major issues requiring a large amount of money in order to not cripple the company or companies involved actually happen fairly frequently at extremely high levels a business like the ones we are talking about.
You naturally don't understand this because you're a John Oliver-watching simpleton, and it is also very likely as to why you are both poor and why you will always be poor until the end of your days, REGARDLESS of how much money any Corporation pays you for your piddleshit labor OR how much you scam off the government after they take it at gunpoint from people who actually know how to handle money. This is because people who are bad with money will never actually be able to accrue it and retain it, no matter how much is given to them for free. They are literally just financial black holes, too stupid to actually function as financially responsible adults.
>They need record breaking profits year after year incase they frick up again
Yeah, look how well that turned out. None of their employees are coming back to work and they wont habe a new movie out foryears. And, no, these rich fricks aren't saving for their next flop, they're getting ready to leave the planet with your b***hass still stuck here.

you mathlet moron, 0.148% of 50K is $74, not $800.
I do give much more than that every year to a vetted charity of my choice off my 50k salary. There you go anon. Also donate to a few specific FOSS software developers who need it.
[...]
I did a little bit of math. I chose paramount to work with.
Paramount's gross revenue is roughly 30 billion.
Their net profits are roughly 1 billion.
.148% of that revenue would be roughly 200 million. So 200 million into 1 billion of their profits means the writers are asking for roughly 20% of paramount's bottom line.
I'm not trying to say studio's aren't greedy, but not only is pretty disingenuous to use revenue in this context (no surprise because aflcio are shitheels too) but 20% someone's profits is a huge amount, so I'm not shocked that the studios don't want to budge.
Keep in mind, I am mathlet, so my calculations my be off, if another smarter anon wants to correct me.
I was about to call you a moron because the point isn't giving money to random people through charity but increasing the salary of their script monkeys, but considering the replies you got you are in good company.
you mathlet moron, 0.148% of 50K is $74, not $800.
I give about $300 to a feral cat charity per year where they catch ferals, neuter / spade, and adopt them out. The charity also 90% guarantees a sitter for my own cat while I'm on vacations. It's a sweet deal and it feels good to give money to a decent cause.
Hmmm. Interesting. I spend more on food for stray cats and get nothing in return, especially someone who can desex and store them until release. They need something like that here.
Try to find an organization who does it. Ferals are little eco terrorists and really need to be desexed to control their population. I don't want it to get to the point where we need to start hunting cats to control their population.
I do agree that you shouldn't feed them until you find out if they're neutered or spade. I understand feeling bad for them though. If possible, try capturing them and taking them to get desexed. Cats are really quite bad for the environment unfortunately.

It's definitely a good cause if you try to do something yourself. And since it's local, much more trustworthy than shitty corporate, national charities. It'll likely be a bit expensive, but I feel like it would be rewarding to start a charity like this yourself.
Hollywood writers make a shitload of $ and most of their stuff is optioned but don't even get produced.
You are a writer. You write a screenplay. You get into the WGA, get an agent and get a manager. They sell your script to a studio. Minimum is $100k for option. You work 6-8 weeks on a rewrite. Studio bounces script around to various writers, producers, and directors. Ultimately your script isn't produced. After X amount of time script rights revert back to you. Your agent sells it to another studio. You get paid again and the process repeats.
To make even more $, you staff up with some god-awful show. Minimum pay is $70k a year. You churn out garbage bc it's just a job. You complete another script, which gets optioned, process repeats.
Most people could do this. Learn Final Draft and formatting. Half your work is done already. Writing is a joke.

No, just disgusted with the entire system. If they're going to create shit that nobody wants to watch, let it die and make way for people who actually care about what they're doing.
100% this. Every week I discover kino from the past that I'd never even heard of before. There's easily enough content out there to keep me entertained without having to subject myself to modern propaganda garbage. Hollywood could never make another movie again and I wouldn't give a flying frick.

That's exactly what ~~*they*~~ want from you. Complacency. Sit back and let them take, bit by bit. After all, it doesn't affect you. But it does affect you, you just don't notice it because it's so indirect. It's not about writers making more, it's about companies exploiting their employees, and what happens here will echo on. If these strikes fail, it will set a precedent for other companies to not give into strikes either, even if they're minuscule requests and meager wage increases. One step closer, and you will march on mindlessly, because you're too cool to care.
I winder why they choose to show percentage of revenue rather than percentages of profit.
I have a feeling that looking at the percentage cutting into profit rathe than revenue makes the studios seems at least a bit more reasonable.
>% of revenue, not profit
Why not show us the cut they want to take from the profit? After all, that would be the metric the studios really care about.

you know why.
Also, the writers are just as greedy for wanting to engage in social subversion for a paycheck.
Best case scenario they all kill themselves/each other.
I suppose good scripts written by people with passion and soul will rise to the top, instead of nepotism hire writers from leftist circles
wont that be awful
>Watch Puss n Boots >Sit through credits out of curiosity >No writers mentioned, it's just all storyboarders ie=drawgays doing stick people. >Story was still good
I think writers are just the ESG position tbh.
I think the first thing to have storyboard driven writing was Steven Universe, they weren't even good at storyboarding though and the Koreans animating it didn't give enough of a shit to fix their crap
You're joking right? Just in case you're not they will use non union writers. And if you think of they were any good they would be union lol, lmao even. Just look at the book and comic book industries. Writers are literally a dime a dozen and plenty of those people would take a dollar for their scripts just to get their name and work in front of millions of people
7 of Netflixes top ten shows of all time are foreign productions. Hollywood is gonna go full Took Our Jerbs soon. Squid Game cost 20 mil, shooting in cheap ass Korea, and is their 1st or 2nd most watched show.
Non-union writters
Foreign scripts
Non-scripted things like in animation, they use storyboards
Boxed stuff that haven't been used
Realistically they only have to produce like this for a couple of years because scripters can't live out on nothing for so long and will cave in eventually
>% of revenue, not profit
Why not show us the cut they want to take from the profit? After all, that would be the metric the studios really care about.
BASED israelites dabbing on the "artists" who are the supposed creators, but need hundreds of millions to make any project
stay strong producers, make them get a real job
Writers have been churning out nothing but steaming piles of shit nowadays. They DESERVE to feel it a little. Doesn't matter how easy it would be to placate them, they don't deserve it.
I want whatever result causes the most of these people to suffer the most, is that what I'm getting now? It kinda feels like it, obviously it needs to drag on longer to maximize the impact, but it seems like we're going in the right direction
What's the context you think I'm thinking of?
You mean after groceries and bills and other shit? Sure. Nobody refers to it like that, at least not very often.
But for all intents and purposes, salary vs. take home is the working man's equivalent of a business's gross income versus net income.
Disney net income for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 was $-0.460B, a 132.65% decline year-over-year.
Disney net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2023 was $2.252B, a 28.33% decline year-over-year.

Disney annual net income for 2020 was $-2.864B, a 125.91% decline from 2019.

they want 20 million from disney after disney has lost 460 million this quarter?
I feel like the companies couldn't have asked for a better outcome, like, the writers and actors have literally ZERO leverage right now with the collapse of the box office, AI, the economy, no one giving a frick about them
Is my interpretation wrong or was this strike a total moron move on behalf of the strikers? What leverage do they have?
That's the beauty of it. They have absolutely none. It's like a child throwing a tantrum because their mom didn't buy them a toy. It may be a little embarrassing since it's done in public, but the mom was never going to buy the toy so the entire scenario is ultimately a waste of time and effort.
Workers owning stakes in their own companies would solve so labor many problems we see today, but a lot of people don't want to take that risk. They want to be able to pick up and move on if the ship sinks, not go down with it. I feel the same way. When I was offered company stock, I declined it. I prefer the cash.
It's that way on both ends. My company never shuts up about labour shortages. Constantly pressures the government for more migrants. At the same time they are obsessed with zero hour guarantee contracts to maintain "flexibility". They also keep decreasing share packages (even executives want higher salaries and less stock, like you said).
Also it should be noted actors and writers fought against the employee system to make more as independent contractors. Not seeming to have the ability to look down the line and see that it goes both ways.
This pic always makes me laugh because of the smug butthole proudly pointing at his IMMIGRANT shirt. I'm 100% sure his parents entered the country legally.
They're not. Actors and writers are grossly overpaid and have insanely over the top conditions. They are now working for mega-corporations like Amazon, who are business first. Ricky Gervais jokingly warned them about this. UPS just did their wage negotiations and it was relatively smooth. Their long term drivers are 100k a year now. Why? Because that's where the money is made. Amazon and Apple don't make a cent from streaming yet. It makes zero sense to agree to an enormous payrise for employees or contractors who don't make you any money. Even Netflixes top shows demonstrates they make more from imported non-union foreign shows than most burger produced stuff.
>They did
When did the writersand actors create their own studio?
When it became one of the biggest studios?
When did it get absorbed into a smaller subsidiary for Amazon?
I must have missed this.
Created in 1919. Due to gross mismanagement, it was bought by MGM in the 80s. Due to gross mismanagent they were then bought by Amazon. They produced Creed 3 and Amazon made them take their name off it and just use the MGM logo. Another funny incident when the supreme court was making the recent decision to overturn the anti-monopoly laws regarding exhibition and the judges pointed out that studios like UA couldn't form a monopoly even if they wanted.
So why do writers and actors think they are in a position to tell companies how to run them when they have, in fact, proved with their own company that they have no fricking idea how to run one?
To be fair they did do really well with U.A. (once they went public and Turner bought most of the shares and put money men in charge who insisted on making popular television shows and lower budget popular movies like Rocky). Of course they then took that success and gave a nut job director unlimited money to make a roller skating western and that was that. That's why they AREN'T claiming they can do the job better. They just want more money. What's so moronic about these protests is precisely what the fat funny guy said at the globes - you are literally in bed with these morons, pushing their corporat agenda, and now you are crying when the corporation treats you exactly as they treat everyone else.

Oh, that's right: Making fun of the Working Class. Sometimes even being PAID to make fun of the working class.
Where were these people when rioters were destroying the homes and businesses of the Working Class with authorities literally being told not to intervene? Oh, that's right: They were sitting in there safe little gated communities, outright encouraging the violence.
Where were these people when the Working Class exercises their right to protest against being forcibly injected with an experimental compound with no long-term testing? Oh, that's right: They were literally demonizing them, lying about them and calling them "terrorists" and "threats to democracy".
Now we're at the point where the Working Class can barely afford gas, food and a place to live. And I'm supposed to be up in arms over one of these Oblomovs having a six-figure income RATHER than a SEVEN-figure income, in exchange for sitting at a table six months out of the year and spitballing ideas for how to turn Superman or Batman or Spider-Man or any other white character black/gay? Holy shit, they can go frick themselves.

>Disney star Raven-Symone led the cast of Raven's Home in a walkout on March 22 over the law. "In [today's] world it is imperative that we take stands, show support, and move forward not backwards," she captioned an Instagram post documenting the walkout. "Every family every person and every child deserves to be recognized no matter their race, gender, or sexual orientation. Education that reflects the truth and the world we live in is something we must fight for."
I wonder if her show is worth half a billion in tax rebates
I'm really happy we're now actually looking at the people that are being flayed, and not just flaying them on a hunch like before
surely you aren't being as bad of a triblalist as anon!
The strikes were the studios' idea. Its just an excuse to fire all of the dead weight now that they can just use AI and hire like one guy who can use it. And the idiot activists masquerading as artists couldn't pass up an opportunity to performatively preach their batshit stupid nonsense to people who literally cannot afford to give a frick.
I was listening to a writer talk about the actual details and that is the exact plan the studio has with A.I.
>buy IP >A.I. blocks out script and dialogue >A.I. """analyst""" (non-union salaried writer) polishes them
He said the union was asking that a union writer gets the job, but unlike residuals and salaries the studios 100% refused to discuss this role with them.
It could backfire. A lot of the paint-by-numbers projects A.I. would work for have flopped this year, while stuff like Barbie and Oppenheimer has done well.
But who knows. If Disney wants to keep shitting out 250 million dollar flops, they can.
Revenue doesn’t mean profit you dumb poorgay scum. I’d take a fraction of a percent of a giant company’s revenue too. It doesn’t even have to be making a profit in the first place.
Even without the activists pretending to be writers you're still going to get nothing but lefty propaganda because that's what the people in charge want you to see. They're changing the street names and rewriting the history books, deal with it.
Well, as America becomes more non-White, it'll become less proficient at projecting power outside America. We've got 10-20 years max under American subjugation.

>For the first time, non-Hispanic white residents now make up less than half (49.9%) of the nation’s under age 15 population, newly released 2018 U.S. Census Bureau estimates show. The new data highlight the increasing racial diversity of the nation’s overall population, for which non-Hispanic whites now comprise only slightly more than three-fifths (60.4%) of all residents. But the fact that white children under 15 have already become a minority in their age group puts an exclamation point on the fact that the nation’s diversity is percolating from the “bottom up” as the white population ages. This phenomenon, which is projected to continue, emphasizes the need for institutions that focus on children and young families to proactively accommodate the interests of more racially diverse populations, as the latter will be key players in the country’s demographic and economic future.

You can't maintain the most powerful high-tech empire this world has ever seen with hip-hop bix nood Black folk and illegal migrants from Mexico + alienated and sissified whites
If I was in charge of any of those companies I wouldn’t be giving up 0.0000000000000000000001% of my revenue to stop the strikes, their shitty writing isn’t worth it.
If you want to object the world to your alleged trauma be my guest. But at least have the skills to write a decent story.
If you don't, go to a therapist. At least he gets paid to listen to your drivel
I sleep well at night knowing the wives and daughters of American soldiers and glowBlack folk are fated to be gangraped by packs of Black folk and mexicans
it's not about the money, it's about the precedent it sets. they don't want to appear weak (which they are) so they'll let themselves bleed out knowing that the writers guild and sagaftra and whoever the frick else will crumble first and come crawling back
Revenue and profit are different, there’s a reason they used revenue instead of profit, because profit is a much bigger percentage.
Regardless, studios are a business, not a charity. If you owned a business and you were over staffed, would you pay your staff more or lay them off? If you had staff who made your product worse and made you lose money, would you lay them off or pay them more? And these are just realities of the writers today.
Writer rooms are overstaffed and bloated. You do not need 12+ writers to write a show. And then because they are so bloated you have a too many cooks type situation where everyone is giving their own ideas and thoughts on how things should be and the show loses focus and direction. Not to mention writer rooms are full of inept diversity and nepo hires that can’t write for shit. Now you’re getting worse products. And we know how much Hollywood is struggling today, look at how many movies are flopping and/or underperforming. Look at how many shows get canceled after 1 or 2 seasons. Look at how many shows are getting removed from streamers because they’re so unpopular it’s more cost effective to stop hosting them. Lots of movies and shows are struggling largely in part because the the writing sucks, so why should studios be able to fire these writers who they don’t need and who are hurting the final product?
I don’t give a frick about the studios, I don’t give a frick about the writers, I just want good television and film and we’re not gonna get that by paying the current writers more, but we might get that if they fire a bunch of writers and make writer rooms smaller, so why on earth would anyone support this strike?
>russia is trash! >commies! >nam! >k/d ratio! >"we" could've killed e-everyone in afghanistan if "we" wanted to!
Nothing satisfied me more than knowing that Americans are impotently raging as their israeli empire is collapsing all around them

go get a real job homosexuals. i hope the studio just waits it out while these gays slide into poverty and have to come crawling back to the negotiating table
>Writers make money based on how successful the product is >Writers churn out absolute garbage that's unpopular with viewers for the sake of diversity and inclusion >Product is unsuccessful >Writers make no money >Writers go on strike
It pains me to say this but I hope studios win for the sake of media, absolutely bonkers statement, clown world
>both sides are bleeding money >both sides want to double down on wokeness, the gingercide, and all of their other bullshit >I'm expected to feel even the slightest shred of pity for either side
I don't really get it, not to defend studios but when they release a product, they're the one taking the risk on that it will tank out and cost them. Conversely if it does well they make money on their investment and risk. Writers are paid well anyway per the union rules if it fails

The strikes are justified.
I know the writers mostly write shit these days but anything that cuts into the profits of the companies is ok
That's the thing. They are asking for so little compared to what these companies make.
Company takes the risk on a project. If it fails, they fail, if it succeeds, they gain.
Writers are paid either way, there is zero risk and reward.
As long as the strikes go on, less wokeslop is being made. Both the corpos and all the writers should be gassed, there are no good guys here.
the companies are requesting the writers to write the wokeslop, these decisions come from the top, scripts probably get auto-rejected if they don't have a minimum qty of gays and blacks in them
iger already pledged to double down on gay shit in disney movies
They are justified, but I hope both looses.

NO MORE 'PRODUCER PASSES!'" And as soon as they're elected and there's a labor negotiation...nothing fricking happens. The topic of getting rid of free writing is literally the "two more weeks" meme.

Do you give 0.148% of your revenue to people?
If you make 50K a year, that's $800 you should give.
You give more than that in taxes.
Disney pays taxes too.

No they don't, they get write offs. That is why they are making up a number like $1.5 billion to write it off as a lose because they are just removing a few programs from their streaming service to avoid paying taxes.
>No they don't, they get write offs.
Why hasn't Biden stopped this?!?!??! I thought was one of the good guys?!?!?!?!
Why would he? He's corporately owned property whose laundering billions through Ukraine. The tax code has always been written with loopholes for the ultra rich to avoid paying taxes and he has been in government for 50 years to only benefit his pay masters.
They pay taxes. Those taxes are based on revenue. The write off reduces the taxes but only because their revenue is down. They lost money.
Ironically the one area they were getting tax rebates was Florida, but after Iger got mad about trannies, they are going to lose them. They were saving half a billion.

I love how this is literally just the lib-speak word for "saving".
Maybe if libshits ever practiced the idea of saving money; or understood why it's a better idea to do so in the first place rather than just impulsively spending money on overly expensive apartments & cars they don't need or overpriced consumables like videogames and weed; then maybe they wouldn't be "living paycheck-to-paycheck" in the first place and they wouldn't need Big Daddy Government to take money away from people who DO know how to save and then "redistribute" it to people who don't.
What could you be saving for when you have billions of dollars collecting dust?
No matter how much you lick those boots, billionaires won't share the money with you
You don't save, you invest.
With what money? 2/3 of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and the minute poors try to imitate rich people, they change the rules. Look at the great depression or more recently Gamestop.
Gamestop and the endless real estate and covid bailouts certainly hurt people's opinions. The 2008 bailouts pretty much wrecked the E.U. - it's now constant squabbling and threatening to pull out.
>What could you be saving for when you have billions of dollars collecting dust?
For inevitable billion dollar costs which will inevitably crop up when a movie flops, the economy has a downturn, etc. It's literally rule number one of financial responsibility that you don't spend money that you don't have to. You save it for if and when you need it. And to save up more than you eventually end up needing is all the better. Major issues requiring a large amount of money in order to not cripple the company or companies involved actually happen fairly frequently at extremely high levels a business like the ones we are talking about.
You naturally don't understand this because you're a John Oliver-watching simpleton, and it is also very likely as to why you are both poor and why you will always be poor until the end of your days, REGARDLESS of how much money any Corporation pays you for your piddleshit labor OR how much you scam off the government after they take it at gunpoint from people who actually know how to handle money. This is because people who are bad with money will never actually be able to accrue it and retain it, no matter how much is given to them for free. They are literally just financial black holes, too stupid to actually function as financially responsible adults.
>They need record breaking profits year after year incase they frick up again
Yeah, look how well that turned out. None of their employees are coming back to work and they wont habe a new movie out foryears. And, no, these rich fricks aren't saving for their next flop, they're getting ready to leave the planet with your b***hass still stuck here.
>habe

You don't spend money you don't need to. You save it.
Simple as that. That's what literally every financially successful person can agree on in terms of long-term strategy.
No amount of Reddit-tier b***hing or Bern-out Millenial whining or Mental-Gymnastics on your part is going to make this time-honored axiom a financial wisdom untrue.

>50 hours/week
Do the math and it's like 3 grand a week. Again, start hitting the gym cuz people with pitchforks are coming for your boss soon and you're gonna want to look good for that employee review.
Ya nah, that’s a lie. I make 52 an hour and work 30 hours a week, with my wife’s teaching income we make a little more than 10k and we literally just bought a 600+k 2500sqft house in CT, pay 3500 a month in mortgage, taxes, and insurance, 600-800 In utilities and we are still saving over 1700 a month. It’s definitely way harder than it used to be but if you’re saying you’re making 10k a month and struggling you’re full of shit.
You work 20 hours less than me and you're surprised you make less? And per diem is tax free, stupid.
Last project I did was in a town in Cali where rent was over 4k a month, and the rest of the country ain't much better. But sure keep resorting to personal attacks
Bro 10k a month can easily afford a 4000 dollar apartment, that’s 500 more than what we pay for our house while still saving at least 1700 a month AND budgeting for 700 dollars a month to spend on an luxuries or entertainment. Move out of commieforma or relook your budget if you seriously aren’t larping. Post your budget here and I’d be glad to help you.
2500sq house is a fricking rat house and you spend 35% of your income in fricking mortgage?
Jesus christ you are not an example of anything
You raised your personal anecdotes. And you need someone to intervene and call you a spastic if you are somehow barely getting by on 10k a month. There will be no pitchforks as your Guatemalan replacements will literally cut off heads to get a quarter of what you earn a month. You'll just be an old boomer complaining about how the country has gone to shit and using google translate to explain to the nice lady how to change your nappies.
You resorted to personal attacks cuz you think anyone who doesn't sign their life away to corporate greed and deep throat for leather boots is poor.
>France beheads rich people in 1800's
>China executes them by firing squad in 1900's

You are literally going to be on the chopping block because to us poors you are the rich one.
I am way closer to being homeless making the money I do than I ever am to being a millionaire. There is a world of difference between middle class and ultra wealthy. How do you not know this?

I'll tell you right now, it's the first one by a fricking landslide. The rich people I work for will toss me aside the moment I'm not useful.
You're close to neither. Given your financial predicament, I would say you could be a billionaire and closer to homeless than I am. And I've been homeless.
I'm well over 900k away from being a millionaire, but sure I'm real close to hitting that benchmark.
How are you so broke? You live in L.A. - there are so many dirt cheap street walkers there. You need a financial adviser (a non judgy one)

>0.148% of $50,000 is $800
Absolute state of this board
I do give much more than that every year to a vetted charity of my choice off my 50k salary. There you go anon. Also donate to a few specific FOSS software developers who need it.
It's 44.4 million and about 4.44% of profit.
I was about to call you a moron because the point isn't giving money to random people through charity but increasing the salary of their script monkeys, but considering the replies you got you are in good company.
I give about 3%
I give about $300 to a feral cat charity per year where they catch ferals, neuter / spade, and adopt them out. The charity also 90% guarantees a sitter for my own cat while I'm on vacations. It's a sweet deal and it feels good to give money to a decent cause.
Hmmm. Interesting. I spend more on food for stray cats and get nothing in return, especially someone who can desex and store them until release. They need something like that here.
Try to find an organization who does it. Ferals are little eco terrorists and really need to be desexed to control their population. I don't want it to get to the point where we need to start hunting cats to control their population.
I get told not to feed them because I'm encouraging them to breed. But I feel bad for them.
I do agree that you shouldn't feed them until you find out if they're neutered or spade. I understand feeling bad for them though. If possible, try capturing them and taking them to get desexed. Cats are really quite bad for the environment unfortunately.
>go out and have sex with cats
Okay
Don't have the means. I already captured and adopted three of them and the adult one was a difficult process. If I had a garage I could do it. There is an old army guy who does it here, but he's always full up because people keep dumping more. I need to check boomer facebook and see if there is an old lady who will store them while they heal up.
It's definitely a good cause if you try to do something yourself. And since it's local, much more trustworthy than shitty corporate, national charities. It'll likely be a bit expensive, but I feel like it would be rewarding to start a charity like this yourself.
>People are companies
Most American post I've seen today
Matter of principle + writers of their quality are dime a dozen + the writers are already relatively well paid for what they do
Hollywood writers make a shitload of $ and most of their stuff is optioned but don't even get produced.
You are a writer. You write a screenplay. You get into the WGA, get an agent and get a manager. They sell your script to a studio. Minimum is $100k for option. You work 6-8 weeks on a rewrite. Studio bounces script around to various writers, producers, and directors. Ultimately your script isn't produced. After X amount of time script rights revert back to you. Your agent sells it to another studio. You get paid again and the process repeats.
To make even more $, you staff up with some god-awful show. Minimum pay is $70k a year. You churn out garbage bc it's just a job. You complete another script, which gets optioned, process repeats.
Most people could do this. Learn Final Draft and formatting. Half your work is done already. Writing is a joke.
>$70k a year in LA
>a shitload of $
Frick off
So all the cleaners live in a different city?
Yes or in cramped housing with 12 other illegal immigrants
Then the writers can do the same.
The exec outs himself
Cleaning is a non-skilled job unlike creative writing.
This weird meme
>I have high qualifications
>I am skilled at x
>therefore give me money
I see this when gays with masters whine they get paid less as teachers than high school dropouts who drive trucks. It's not school. You get paid what you're worth unless you know how to scam.
I saw this shit coming when everyone was going to university. I didn't bother and went right into work, and 3 years later everyone was starting the same entry level job I had with their degrees meaning nothing. Momentum kept up from there too.
It's like when everyone has a degree, no one does.
>learn skills online
>lie on resume saying I have a degree
>nobody checks and anyone saying they do is coping
>get same job as college tard without the debt
That just makes you a liar and a bad person, it has no reflection on anyone else so nice bragging dipshit
Its even funnier because you'd be too afraid to admit it anywhere else
>"heh yeah I saw this all coming... dumbasses with their dumbass degrees hehe" the janitor mutters as he slides his dirty mop around the tile floor
PriEqu Manager actually. One of my uni friends is my underling lol
Lmfao a manager
No wonder you didnt need any qualifications, they could've pulled a hobo off the street
You don't quite understand the work but I can't blame you.
>what is on the job education/qualifications
Can't A.I a dish clean
That's minimum. How much $ do you make, you smug c**t?
I don't care. I hope both sides lose and I hope Hollywood dies and nothing ever gets made again. I have plenty of older movies and shows to watch that will last the rest of my life.
>I don't care. I hope both sides lose and I hope Hollywood dies and nothing ever gets made again.
Well aren't you a cheery one?
No, just disgusted with the entire system. If they're going to create shit that nobody wants to watch, let it die and make way for people who actually care about what they're doing.
100% this. Every week I discover kino from the past that I'd never even heard of before. There's easily enough content out there to keep me entertained without having to subject myself to modern propaganda garbage. Hollywood could never make another movie again and I wouldn't give a flying frick.
>I don't care!!
That's exactly what ~~*they*~~ want from you. Complacency. Sit back and let them take, bit by bit. After all, it doesn't affect you. But it does affect you, you just don't notice it because it's so indirect. It's not about writers making more, it's about companies exploiting their employees, and what happens here will echo on. If these strikes fail, it will set a precedent for other companies to not give into strikes either, even if they're minuscule requests and meager wage increases. One step closer, and you will march on mindlessly, because you're too cool to care.
If short term means writers suffer that's based
>rightoid can't think about the bigger picture, can only think a month in advance
common in low IQ individuals
Sorry anon, you've been replaced!
But the writers are akways telling us to sit down, be humble and listen to the (corporate) experts as they rape us. They need to fix their messaging.
I still don't care
This is anti-Semitic. I simply won't tolerate it. As long as we get our George Floyd movie on time it doesn't bother me in the least honestly anyway.
Meds.
It’s an excuse to clean house. Starting with these shit writers.
I winder why they choose to show percentage of revenue rather than percentages of profit.
I have a feeling that looking at the percentage cutting into profit rathe than revenue makes the studios seems at least a bit more reasonable.
I did a little bit of math. I chose paramount to work with.
Paramount's gross revenue is roughly 30 billion.
Their net profits are roughly 1 billion.
.148% of that revenue would be roughly 200 million. So 200 million into 1 billion of their profits means the writers are asking for roughly 20% of paramount's bottom line.
I'm not trying to say studio's aren't greedy, but not only is pretty disingenuous to use revenue in this context (no surprise because aflcio are shitheels too) but 20% someone's profits is a huge amount, so I'm not shocked that the studios don't want to budge.
Keep in mind, I am mathlet, so my calculations my be off, if another smarter anon wants to correct me.
You calculate things like paying your contractors from revenues not profits as standard, but it is being framed disingenuously.
Isn't Paramount deep in shit right now?
Corporations are 100% driven by profits and are run by c**ts. Welcome to the real world.
you know why.
Also, the writers are just as greedy for wanting to engage in social subversion for a paycheck.
Best case scenario they all kill themselves/each other.
If there are no writers left who will write the movies?
ChatGPT
ChatKBG? Oh no!
I suppose good scripts written by people with passion and soul will rise to the top, instead of nepotism hire writers from leftist circles
wont that be awful
>Watch Puss n Boots
>Sit through credits out of curiosity
>No writers mentioned, it's just all storyboarders ie=drawgays doing stick people.
>Story was still good
I think writers are just the ESG position tbh.
I think the first thing to have storyboard driven writing was Steven Universe, they weren't even good at storyboarding though and the Koreans animating it didn't give enough of a shit to fix their crap
Me
You're joking right? Just in case you're not they will use non union writers. And if you think of they were any good they would be union lol, lmao even. Just look at the book and comic book industries. Writers are literally a dime a dozen and plenty of those people would take a dollar for their scripts just to get their name and work in front of millions of people
7 of Netflixes top ten shows of all time are foreign productions. Hollywood is gonna go full Took Our Jerbs soon. Squid Game cost 20 mil, shooting in cheap ass Korea, and is their 1st or 2nd most watched show.
The Gray Man cost 200 mil and no one watched it.
Also, the irony
>yay diversity
>yay globalism
>huh? They'll work for a tenth of my salary? Wait, what
Non-union writters
Foreign scripts
Non-scripted things like in animation, they use storyboards
Boxed stuff that haven't been used
Realistically they only have to produce like this for a couple of years because scripters can't live out on nothing for so long and will cave in eventually
Me and this guy
If writers wrote better films, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
>% of revenue, not profit
Why not show us the cut they want to take from the profit? After all, that would be the metric the studios really care about.
BASED israelites dabbing on the "artists" who are the supposed creators, but need hundreds of millions to make any project
stay strong producers, make them get a real job
Writers have been churning out nothing but steaming piles of shit nowadays. They DESERVE to feel it a little. Doesn't matter how easy it would be to placate them, they don't deserve it.
I want whatever result causes the most of these people to suffer the most, is that what I'm getting now? It kinda feels like it, obviously it needs to drag on longer to maximize the impact, but it seems like we're going in the right direction
How did they come up with those percentages? And why aren't they referencing profit?
>And why aren't they referencing profit?
do you do that when you discuss your own income?
You've never heard someone say what their "take home" is?
You've never said it yourself?
Do you have a job?
no one uses it in the context you're thinking of
What's the context you think I'm thinking of?
You mean after groceries and bills and other shit? Sure. Nobody refers to it like that, at least not very often.
But for all intents and purposes, salary vs. take home is the working man's equivalent of a business's gross income versus net income.
Disney net income for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 was $-0.460B, a 132.65% decline year-over-year.
Disney net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2023 was $2.252B, a 28.33% decline year-over-year.
Disney annual net income for 2022 was $3.145B, a 57.64% increase from 2021.
Disney annual net income for 2021 was $1.995B, a 169.66% decline from 2020.
Disney annual net income for 2020 was $-2.864B, a 125.91% decline from 2019.
Disney revenue for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 was $22.330B, a 3.84% increase year-over-year.
Disney revenue for the twelve months ending June 30, 2023 was $87.807B, a 8.26% increase year-over-year.
Disney annual revenue for 2022 was $82.722B, a 22.7% increase from 2021.
Disney annual revenue for 2021 was $67.418B, a 3.1% increase from 2020.
Disney annual revenue for 2020 was $65.388B, a 6.06% decline from 2019.
they want 20 million from disney after disney has lost 460 million this quarter?
>trusting israeli accounting
I feel like the companies couldn't have asked for a better outcome, like, the writers and actors have literally ZERO leverage right now with the collapse of the box office, AI, the economy, no one giving a frick about them
Is my interpretation wrong or was this strike a total moron move on behalf of the strikers? What leverage do they have?
That's the beauty of it. They have absolutely none. It's like a child throwing a tantrum because their mom didn't buy them a toy. It may be a little embarrassing since it's done in public, but the mom was never going to buy the toy so the entire scenario is ultimately a waste of time and effort.
ofc they dont
if you give them a raise now. they will soon ask for more
why don't they just pool their money and then buy an actual stake in the company? that way they would also share in the profit and loss.
Workers owning stakes in their own companies would solve so labor many problems we see today, but a lot of people don't want to take that risk. They want to be able to pick up and move on if the ship sinks, not go down with it. I feel the same way. When I was offered company stock, I declined it. I prefer the cash.
>They want to be able to pick up and move on if the ship sinks, not go down with it
who doesn't
It's that way on both ends. My company never shuts up about labour shortages. Constantly pressures the government for more migrants. At the same time they are obsessed with zero hour guarantee contracts to maintain "flexibility". They also keep decreasing share packages (even executives want higher salaries and less stock, like you said).
Also it should be noted actors and writers fought against the employee system to make more as independent contractors. Not seeming to have the ability to look down the line and see that it goes both ways.
Writers are the most expendable people in show business.
They deserve a raise

get a real job. Even the studios know you are almost useless
They're not. Actors and writers are grossly overpaid and have insanely over the top conditions. They are now working for mega-corporations like Amazon, who are business first. Ricky Gervais jokingly warned them about this. UPS just did their wage negotiations and it was relatively smooth. Their long term drivers are 100k a year now. Why? Because that's where the money is made. Amazon and Apple don't make a cent from streaming yet. It makes zero sense to agree to an enormous payrise for employees or contractors who don't make you any money. Even Netflixes top shows demonstrates they make more from imported non-union foreign shows than most burger produced stuff.
>Source on these Numbers: Just trust us, bro!
If you have a problem with that create your own studio.
They did. It went from one of the biggest studios to now, a tiny subsidiary of Amazon
>They did
When did the writersand actors create their own studio?
When it became one of the biggest studios?
When did it get absorbed into a smaller subsidiary for Amazon?
I must have missed this.
Created in 1919. Due to gross mismanagement, it was bought by MGM in the 80s. Due to gross mismanagent they were then bought by Amazon. They produced Creed 3 and Amazon made them take their name off it and just use the MGM logo. Another funny incident when the supreme court was making the recent decision to overturn the anti-monopoly laws regarding exhibition and the judges pointed out that studios like UA couldn't form a monopoly even if they wanted.
Also forgot to mention - they produced one of the most legendary trainwrecks in cinema history (Heaven's Gate) which is what finally sunk them.
So why do writers and actors think they are in a position to tell companies how to run them when they have, in fact, proved with their own company that they have no fricking idea how to run one?
To be fair they did do really well with U.A. (once they went public and Turner bought most of the shares and put money men in charge who insisted on making popular television shows and lower budget popular movies like Rocky). Of course they then took that success and gave a nut job director unlimited money to make a roller skating western and that was that. That's why they AREN'T claiming they can do the job better. They just want more money. What's so moronic about these protests is precisely what the fat funny guy said at the globes - you are literally in bed with these morons, pushing their corporat agenda, and now you are crying when the corporation treats you exactly as they treat everyone else.
>Of course they then took that success and gave a nut job director unlimited money to make a roller skating western
Sounds kino
Some people argue it is.
>using revenue and not net
>stating their pay after taxes and rent
>deliberately avoiding the topic of initial pay to make it seem like residuals is all they get
I cant trust any of these frickers and its all their fault for trying to apply smoke and mirrors.
Can't even look at the net because they twist it around to make everything look like a loss.
>Oh vey, goy, we've got no income for you to tax but there's some middle class fatcats over there to fund your Black person gibs.
Also that. It's on both sides, but it's obviously more vocal and personalised via the writers and actors
The Media Elite literally could not have picked a worse time to try and drum up support for themselves among the Working Class.
Where were these people when the Working Class were complaining that they were having to drain their savings to live off of due to not being allowed to go to work due to the meme-virus (which apparently wasn't a factor when Democrats suddenly decided they needed to go out and "protest", oddly enough)? Oh, that's right: Making fun of the Working Class. Sometimes even being PAID to make fun of the working class.
Where were these people when rioters were destroying the homes and businesses of the Working Class with authorities literally being told not to intervene? Oh, that's right: They were sitting in there safe little gated communities, outright encouraging the violence.
Where were these people when the Working Class exercises their right to protest against being forcibly injected with an experimental compound with no long-term testing? Oh, that's right: They were literally demonizing them, lying about them and calling them "terrorists" and "threats to democracy".
Now we're at the point where the Working Class can barely afford gas, food and a place to live. And I'm supposed to be up in arms over one of these Oblomovs having a six-figure income RATHER than a SEVEN-figure income, in exchange for sitting at a table six months out of the year and spitballing ideas for how to turn Superman or Batman or Spider-Man or any other white character black/gay? Holy shit, they can go frick themselves.

"In [today's] world it is imperative that we take stands, show support, and move forward not backwards," she captioned an Instagram post documenting the walkout. "Every family every person and every child deserves to be recognized no matter their race, gender, or sexual orientation. Education that reflects the truth and the world we live in is something we must fight for."
I wonder if her show is worth half a billion in tax rebates

>reddit spacing
Yes, you know you are dealing with leftist homosexuals when they bust out percentages as a metric.
It is always dishonest shit.
All actors and writers are overpaid. The Romans spit on such people for good reason.
The strikes were the studios' idea. Its just an excuse to fire all of the dead weight now that they can just use AI and hire like one guy who can use it. And the idiot activists masquerading as artists couldn't pass up an opportunity to performatively preach their batshit stupid nonsense to people who literally cannot afford to give a frick.
I was listening to a writer talk about the actual details and that is the exact plan the studio has with A.I.
>buy IP
>A.I. blocks out script and dialogue
>A.I. """analyst""" (non-union salaried writer) polishes them
He said the union was asking that a union writer gets the job, but unlike residuals and salaries the studios 100% refused to discuss this role with them.
I hope they do it without them. I want it to crash either way.
It could backfire. A lot of the paint-by-numbers projects A.I. would work for have flopped this year, while stuff like Barbie and Oppenheimer has done well.
But who knows. If Disney wants to keep shitting out 250 million dollar flops, they can.
could be much better than
>buy IP
>writers who hate the IP write the script
it's the israelites but we're not allowed to talk about it
Revenue doesn’t mean profit you dumb poorgay scum. I’d take a fraction of a percent of a giant company’s revenue too. It doesn’t even have to be making a profit in the first place.
how much of the funding do writers contribute to the film or show? or are they just hired?
The writers should be replaced by AI trained on dialogue from movies written before the year 2000
Even without the activists pretending to be writers you're still going to get nothing but lefty propaganda because that's what the people in charge want you to see. They're changing the street names and rewriting the history books, deal with it.

>For the first time, non-Hispanic white residents now make up less than half (49.9%) of the nation’s under age 15 population, newly released 2018 U.S. Census Bureau estimates show. The new data highlight the increasing racial diversity of the nation’s overall population, for which non-Hispanic whites now comprise only slightly more than three-fifths (60.4%) of all residents. But the fact that white children under 15 have already become a minority in their age group puts an exclamation point on the fact that the nation’s diversity is percolating from the “bottom up” as the white population ages. This phenomenon, which is projected to continue, emphasizes the need for institutions that focus on children and young families to proactively accommodate the interests of more racially diverse populations, as the latter will be key players in the country’s demographic and economic future.

>Kyiv
Revenue and profit are different, there’s a reason they used revenue instead of profit, because profit is a much bigger percentage.
Regardless, studios are a business, not a charity. If you owned a business and you were over staffed, would you pay your staff more or lay them off? If you had staff who made your product worse and made you lose money, would you lay them off or pay them more? And these are just realities of the writers today.
Writer rooms are overstaffed and bloated. You do not need 12+ writers to write a show. And then because they are so bloated you have a too many cooks type situation where everyone is giving their own ideas and thoughts on how things should be and the show loses focus and direction. Not to mention writer rooms are full of inept diversity and nepo hires that can’t write for shit. Now you’re getting worse products. And we know how much Hollywood is struggling today, look at how many movies are flopping and/or underperforming. Look at how many shows get canceled after 1 or 2 seasons. Look at how many shows are getting removed from streamers because they’re so unpopular it’s more cost effective to stop hosting them. Lots of movies and shows are struggling largely in part because the the writing sucks, so why should studios be able to fire these writers who they don’t need and who are hurting the final product?
I don’t give a frick about the studios, I don’t give a frick about the writers, I just want good television and film and we’re not gonna get that by paying the current writers more, but we might get that if they fire a bunch of writers and make writer rooms smaller, so why on earth would anyone support this strike?

What about landlocked writers?
They won't. It'll be like that Reddit mod "strike". Plebs might want to get back to it but the elites (in this case WGA leaders) will keep going.
If their work had even that pitiful value, they wouldn't need a union.

>Writers make no money
>Writers go on strike
It pains me to say this but I hope studios win for the sake of media, absolutely bonkers statement, clown world
Writers still got paid a large sum in the first place.
>studio give us 0.01% of your profits for the subpar shit we write
>studios are in red and under billions of debt since years
lol
Because they are legally liable if they don't do their utmost to maximize profit
>both sides are bleeding money
>both sides want to double down on wokeness, the gingercide, and all of their other bullshit
>I'm expected to feel even the slightest shred of pity for either side
I don't really get it, not to defend studios but when they release a product, they're the one taking the risk on that it will tank out and cost them. Conversely if it does well they make money on their investment and risk. Writers are paid well anyway per the union rules if it fails
The executives aren't taking any risks. If their decisions fail (see Iger) they will just take a golden parachute on the way out
>Not negotiating with terrorists
sounds based to me tbh
I hope hollywood dies
>~~*Hollywood*~~ bashing/deconstructing thread suddenly gets derailed into arguing about wars in irrelevant countries.
IDF is here.
>the US government won't give 0.000001% of its budget to stop me from being poor
>willing be a lackey for israelites
>rub it in your ideological enemies faces while the getting is good
>push homosexual propaganda as hard as you can on children
>get fricked by your israeli masters
>cry and expect sympathy from the people were at war with yesterday
Uhhhh
Studios are based, I hope they use AI to write episodes and fire them 95% of those writers.
it's crazy how easy it is to manipulate rightoids. one moment they hate studios, but since the strikes, they're now LE BASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 principles and integrity in their beliefs
They'll always like the side that suppresses unions and consolidates powers for corporations. It's a pillar of fascism.
A hallmark of fascism is insanely powerful unions. Corporations have to guarantee high wages and meaningless busy work jobs under fascism.
Wrong.
That list is factually incorrect. Especially on the religion and corporate front.
>Especially on the religion and corporate front.
They don't call it Cristofascism for nothing
Yeah, but that's just a fricktarded burger meme not connected to reality. Fascists in both Europe and Latin America suppress religious institutions (or just shoot priests). With corporations they subjugate them either violently or through corruption/cronyism.
Hitler liked Christianity and had positive view of it. And Europeans have enacted Christofascism, Oliver Cromwell did it right after the King James Bible was printed. And, lets be real, that's what the dark ages were.
Dark ages are a literal myth, keep up with the times boomer. Atheists above room temp IQ don't even argue this point anymore.
Is this what your Sunday school teacher taught you?
none of this sounds bad except the corruption and cronyism, and that's present in systems of governance.
>religion and government entertwined
Trust me, it's not fun.
depends on the religion
>Corporations have to guarantee high wages and meaningless busy work jobs under fascism.
kek, you talk like a leftist talking about perfect communism is
Well fascism and communism have a lot of overlap. Hence the Socialism Hitler tacked on at the end. The Italians did it more like that guys list.
actually, most people don't give a shit about the actors or the studios
it was however funny when they dabbed on the protesters by removing the trees
>Why aren't you chud rightoid siding with the us leftist aligned content police that hate your guts? We deserve to be paid you know!
>Be liberal communist
>Hate the free market with a passion.
>Vote to destroy the free market and establish communisim.
>Shit and attack everyone who disagrees with you even the slightest.
>Achieve your goal.
>You now get paid nothing and your overlords don't give a shit about you.
>So much red tape and rights tooken away that there is nothing you can do for better working conditions.
>Not even your colleagues give a shit about you.
>Protest and beg for help from the people who you kicked out and shit on daily.
I seriously wish death on all of them.
>liberal comunist
Are you fricking moronic? Read a book, you dont even know the ideology of the people you hate lmao
Seething writer detected. Frick off.
More like you don't even know how fricktarded your own belief is and treat your old israelite Marx like a super hero and cherry pick his teachings like a fanatical cultist you are.
You are getting what you wished for in Hollywood, the most left leaning shithole in the US rivaling India as a whole (in poo)
It's not about the money. It's about constantly being extorted for whatever ludacris demands the marxists in the screen actors/writers guild want. never give in...
>ludacris
Hello sirs
Dont care. Sarah Gadon is not on strike.
I love Sarah Gadon
>paying $4k/month for an apartment in LA
>spend most of your time on the road
>expensive apartment sits empty
I think you might be the problem here dude
I love this strike to be honest. I hope it lasts forever and we will never have to be exposed to their bargain bin writers and their diversity-hire producers ever again.
I want the hollywood of middle-management and mediocre market research driven garbage to die a painful and slow death.
None of these companies make money
