no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

#tree law #sag strike #wga strike #also also it can be hard to admit but the US does set some industry standards so although im on the other side of the world its concerning!!#if bigwigs at US companies are screwing out their own workers what would this mean for those producing content in other countries?#what about our own local production companies that model american production houses?#oh we cant pay you a living wage cause thats industry standard. dont believe me? here is what a writer at X USA company at X TV show earns #also if you “cant afford” to pay your creatives a living wage then maybe you shouldnt be in charge #so yeah #i think this whole strike thing will affect more than just the US #just fucking pay your creatives

Cops only exist to enforce laws that, if broken, would be a blue-collar crime. They exist for shoplifting, murder, illegal drug use, protests, an in-progress robbery, and more extreme cases of domestic violence, you get the picture. This service is paid for by taxes, and it's supposedly free to all citizens, but we all know that POC and other minorities fear calling the police.

Police exist to enforce crime associated with the working class. White-collar crime doesn't involve the police. You have to enforce that yourself and pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for a lawyer. You can be put in physical danger at your job, but the police do not handle that. They handle when you are put in physical danger at home, and that's even if the police always gave a shit and did their jobs correctly.

The police are not there to enforce all law equally, they are there to enforce laws that are broken by the marginalized. They are not there for you being denied housing, fired from work, hurt on the job, assaulted by your employer, going unpaid for your work, etc. They do not target the upper classes, that is not in their job description.

Cops exist and have always existed to maintain the current power structure. This is one of the reasons why the system needs to be removed entirely.

#I'm putting this on antiterf because I know a lot of my followers are White leftists #and us White people usually don't care nearly enough about police violence brutality and how they exist to oppress #and I've been thinking about this a lot #how I can name so many instances of laws being broken that hurt me and others but couldn't do anything #because that's a lawyers job and lawyers cost more than I can afford #and the instances I see are usually going to be too minor for them like being fired from a few dollars above min wage job #notaterftip #not sarcasm

I'm about to lose my fucking mind

#without understanding something in the correct historical context your point is just meaningless #mostly because if you did understand it in the correct context YOU WOULDN'T BE MAKING THIS POINT #the TSP is more like a white suburban woman going nuts at the HOA for a non native grass in her garden #rather than a retail worker trying to get a living wage from a company that could definitely afford to pay more but have capitalist greed #the egyptians didn't even have capitalism so you're comparing two different economic situations that don't match up

Too often, people believe homelessness is due to some type of character flaw. In reality, that’s not even close. The top causes being…

1. A lack of affordable housing

2. Unemployment

3. Poverty

4. Low wages

every time R comes to clean i give her extra money (she asks for £11/h, she gets 11.50-12.50 kind of dependent on my exact change situation but always at least 11.50) and she argues her rate is £11 and tries to give me change and it's like ok minimum wage is 11.44 i literally cannot pay you less than that and at that point you might as well round up to 11.50 but also. i am a white woman hiring a black woman to clean my house. stop asking for slave wages. girl.

#practically every other cleaner is at least 15/h it's why i can afford to hire you in the first place but honey #bestie #look at me #even if i could legally pay you below minimum wage #which as a cash in hand no agency involved situation i totally could there's no paper trail #just like morally i could not do that #it's bad enough i can only pay you *just* above minimum i'm not going under it stop asking me to do that i'm begging

from @/JoshuaPHilll, via More Perfect Union

#hvaña #labor #uaw strike #wishing all striking workers across sectors a successful strike and more importantly a fair contract!!!!!!#remember to be on the lookout for anti union proaganda such as 1) unions being at fault for negotiations falling through #2) pitting one group of workers against another #3) workers being greedy and unreasonable #and many more. remember that the power to call off the strike ALWAYS lies with the company if only they meet the workers demands.#not even gross revenue but profits is 20 BILLION usd they can afford to pay their workers a fucking living wage and pension.#ANYWAYS!!!!.

Satine Kryze should not be a sympathetic character.

A complex and tragic one? Sure. Every day of the week.

But she did not 'have a point', neither in-universe, not outside of the sw framework. She isn't a hero, neither of her own story, nor of someone else's. There is no way she wasn't a tool. You should not look at her and think 'this woman has done nothing wrong and what ultimately happened to Mandalore was to no part her fault'.

Because guys. Friends. Strangers on the interwebs.

Pacifism doesn't work.

And it certainly wouldn't have worked in motherfucking Star Wars – the 'wars' is literally in the title – for a system or series of systems who wanted to stay neutral.

YOU DON'T STAY NEUTRAL FOR LONG BY JUST SAYING 'YEAH, NO THANKS <3' TO A LARGE-SCALE CONFLICT.

source: I am Swiss, we've looked at this in history class. Extensively.

Satine was a dreamer (thanks Obi-Wan) who was allowed to keep her delusions because they actively benefitted Palpatine's plans. And that's something you can quote me on. There is literally no other reason (apart from supremely bad writing but we'll leave that aside here) for her and her little friends' 'Alliance of Neutral Systems' or whatever to be allowed to exist.

Not that they were neutral in any way, shape or form, by the way.

So yeah sorry to the Satine stans, but you're idolizing a character that was written exclusively and specifically for Obi-Wan's manpain and who, in-universe, was a supremely bad politician. Because the level of mental dissonace needed to factually be a Republic System, have a seat in the fucking Republic Senate, rely upon their military for aid while actively proclaiming that All Violence Is Bad And Barbaric one sentence later AND THEN CLAIM TO BE NEUTRAL IN THE WHOLE CONFLICT – it's just mind-blowing. Even moreso that people actually look at this character and see something aspirational in her.

Again, I'll gladly dissect her character any day of the week. She is fascinating because of all the implications her existence as a head of state carries with it, as well as her deeply complicated family history and her relation to mandalorian culture.

But it just grates on me personally that that all gets ignored in favor of her being some sort of icon of white american saviorism (bc that's literally what she is) and her objectively bad political takes being treated like they are the only correct stance to be taken during the Clone Wars/Mandalorian Civil Wars.

If you think pacifism works and actually lets you stay neutral, I desperately urge you to open a history book. Because those two are mutually exclusive. Especially in the scenario that Star Wars paints.

#you know i would have LOVED actual neutrality be explored in sw canon #but noooo #we got satine and her judgmental draft dodger club #give me neutral systems that ARENT having a happy fun time #that are shooting down republic and seperatist crafts alike when they cross their borders #that are struggling to stay self-sufficient during the wars and that have to make questionable deals with both sides to afford supplies #you know. things based in reality #there is no moral way to wage war #and there is no moral way to stay out of it #its a lose lose situation and i WISH tcw had treated this as such #random boli thoughts #just some meta ramblings to satisfy the blood demons #satine kryze critical #satine kryze #like. before you tell me i'm wrong name ONE single reason that the separatists had for not immediately annexing mandalore #or the 'neutral' systems in general #you dont stay neutral by just saying 'not my business'#you stay neutral by being too fucking annoying to annex #that is literally the only way #star wars #star wars meta

It seems that all there is left to film for WoT season 3 is a location shoot in South Africa which will stand in for the Waste. I'm guessing this was scheduled last because it will involve all the actors on the show who are currently on strike (which I think includes Daniel Henney and maybe Rosamund Pike, but I'm not sure) so who knows when it will be finished because the studios are being such greedy shits.

#wheel of time #wot on prime #wot spoilers #wot season 3 #pay your actors a fair living wage #you can easily afford it #you've lost more money dragging out these strikes than you'd have to pay the writers and actors

Hi loves I only have $109 in my account after buying groceries yesterday…

I’m waiting to hear back from jobs still. My only source of income currently is from online surveys & that does not add up to much at all.

Any help (tips, reblogs etc) in getting by until I land a job is extremely appreciated!
