#writers strike and actors strike

[pop-pop-pop-popculture]

How will actors make a living now since they can't star in any film or television show and participate in press tour events (red carpet, interviews, talk show hosts, etc.) which I'm sure they get paid tons for??

As long as the production company is not affiliated with SAG-AFTRA, then there's always indie films and short films. Here's some other ways to make money that have nothing to do with acting at all:

Paid partnerships through Instagram

A part-time or full-time job in retail clothing

A part-time or full-time job at a restaurants

A part-time or full-time job at a fast food company

DoorDash

Uber Eats

No, I am not joking. There's no telling how long these strikes will last, and they'll need to make money somehow, especially for those who live in or near Los Angeles!

(This is irrelevant, but I think investing in an undergraduate degree at a community college if not university would be a great idea, so that way the actor will have a backup plan. And who knows? Maybe they’ll discover some hidden passions or talents!)

Strike is on. Actors will be joining the writers on the picket lines. This is the first strike in 60 years for SAG, and essentially shuts down the entire US film and television industry.

Imagine actually being so evil that you'd rather make sure your writers suffer financially instead of just paying them the pay they deserve. Hell truly has some seats reserved already, holy shit.

“i hope the strike ruins my favourite show” ok well i hope that workers get treated better fast. things should not be ruined because the strike should not last long because the workers should get fucking paid soon. “i hope theres no new shows for the next fifty years” i hope that unions get what they want within the week
