WGA STRIKE

Either you care about such things or you don't.

It's about so much more than you missing your favorite show.

It's about decency, honesty, fairness.

This type of behavior and business practice is rampant

in every corner of our society, in politics, housing

health care...

Yes, this is affecting my daughter and Jenny, her writing partner, and 

their WGA family. 

BUT

It is affecting us all when it comes to AI.

When AI writes anything it is not birthed magically 

thru the computer components, it is "farmed" from all the

 ideas and creative pieces that humans previously wrote, 

and then they will never be paid for, 

yet the 1% at the top will GREATLY profit from.

The proverbial "tip of the iceberg"

with whatever icebergs we'll have left...

This is, as many things are, about more than what you 

see and read on the surface. 

A few powerful folks at the top of many companies,

including our "political corporations", SCOTUS etc  are 

living gluttonous lives on the backs of what

resembles the serfdoms of the past.

It is also why when a neighbor asked if I was excited to 

watch the coronation I replied hell no, 

much to the dismay of the folks behind me in the checkout lane.

I cannot, will not, support or encourage the continuation of 

a monarchy built upon, hugely profited from, 

the colonization and slavery of other countries.

So please if you begin to miss some of your favorite entertainment,

instead of cursing those on strike, 

drop a message to the studio 

or company behind the show and tell them

 it's time to play fair and be decent.

A message to a sponsor is always a good idea. 

and on another note-

 Teachers are quitting in droves,

most for the same reasons. 

Who will be left to teach all your grandchildren?

as at home schooling went so well right? 

It is about more than just this union having to fight,

it is our country so out of balance, 

devoid of truths and compassion.

We must care or be forever lost.
