The picket lines are in Hollywood and New York City, bastions of Leftists that mock the Deplorables in "flyover country".

Let the strike never end.

Good for them to fight for their 10-60k/day jobs.

I don't think they have the jobs. A look at the photos at the site show a lot of people who haven't been in television or movies for years. This is a chance for them to maybe get seen and hopefully get picked up for a low-budget independent film directed by someone other than Alec Baldwin.

Most of them don't look healthy at all. I don't think they've been doing much except waiting for their return to the spotlight.

...but we've seen this all before.

Where’s her royal pain in the a$$, Mrs. Harkle, showing support for her fellow actors? Thought for sure she would be there. Nothing she likes more than posing for the cameras!

Meanwhile, on the chick who's been AWOL from the picket lines...

Meghan Markle 'rethinking future' as bombshell Suits return is 'talk of Hollywood'

Why am I put in mind of Bud Light at Sturgis...

Wow, Jack Black looks awful! Fat, unkempt, dissolute, like he was hauled in from some drunk tank somewhere.

How could he have no shame, to end up looking so wretched?

And Meghan Markle is still AWOL from the picket lines.

She wants her privacy.

[mewzilla]

Strike still ongoing. And on a related note, I think I've figured out why Meghan Markle has been AWOL from the picket lines....

SAG Actors Want Higher Residuals. Here’s How Streaming Residuals Work Since the rise of streaming services, striking SAG actors say their residuals, or payments for TV and film reruns and secondary-market sales, have dropped significantly

She doesn't want to run afoul of Netflix.

What a profile in courage.

[mewzilla]

Check out my reply #73.

I actually have from sympathy for the striking actors now.

I had no idea how badly they were getting screwed on residuals from streaming services.

[dforest]

The people should strike against the so called actors who are overpaid to turn out the crap we have been seeing in the last few years.

None of them look special at all.

[dfwgator]

Still don’t care.

[mewzilla]

Update, things appear not to be going very well...
