How's that boot taste?

What boot? The boot of the industrial propaganda machine that I'm refusing to be concerned about when it just might have to slow down on producing another cinematic universe for merchandising? Screw the studios, let them deflate a little while the people who do the work strike for better conditions and wages. I'm sure the next Thor movie can wait a couple more years before becoming a lunchbox.

The workers get to choose what gets produced do they?

You are complaining about exactly the same people that the workers are striking against.

Yes, because as a worker of any kind, I stand in solidarity with the people who are looking for fair compensation for their time and work.

Yes. If I work at a chemical plant, then find out the plant has been poisoning the town I live in, my most effective way to stop that happening is to refuse to make more poison and convince as many of my neighbors and colleagues who work with me to do the same. The boss won't come down from his office and make it himself, will he? As the person making it, I'm morally responsible for it's existence.

Right. The impression given by your original post (pre edit) was that of not caring about the workers, I've just seen that edit and see the misunderstanding here now.

Yeah, my mistake. I realized that afterwards, hence the edit. That's what I get for trying to use a meme response, I need to be clearer in my reactions.

The actors are also stepping on others.

They care more about living well I'm Hollywood than children in Burundi getting food and water.

All this money is so they can live as lavish a life as possible and show off to their friends. They want this money for acting instead of doing something else useful for society.

They get mad when I point out they don't work that hard and have a lot of excess wealth.

I think this is an imaginary conversation you have while in the shower

No, it's what I witness whenever I call it out.

The workers have no control over anything in Burundi. What a bizarre thing to attack them with.
