#im quitting my job today bc im not treated fairly and dont get paid enough

[mythical-illusions]

During the writers and actors strikes going on rn it's been making me think of Newsies (fucking love the musical, 100/10) and I just wanna know one thing. It's a VERY popular musical that Disney has produced TWICE (movie music, 1990s I believe, Broadway recording, 2016 ish). So I believe I can safely assume that at least some of the higher ups in some of these companies have seen it, or at least know the plot.

And if they do, DID THEY LEARN NOTHING? THE ENTIRE SHOW IS ABOUT THE NEWSPAPER DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND GUESS WHAT? THEY GIVE INTO THE DEMANDS AND COMPROMISE

and here's the fun bit, it's based on a true story. So if some poor kids were tired of getting taken advantage of in the late 1800s and got the big old rich guys to listen to them. What makes you even PONDER that these writers and actors (some of which were PART of productions of these kinds of stories) are going to give up and continue to be taken advantage of? Get a fucking grip AND PAY YOUR FUCKING WRITERS AND ACTORS

You guys would be NOTHING without them. Disney wouldn't have made it these last 100 years without everyone working their damn hardest to make a movie everyone can love. Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and everyone else would be distant memories without the hard fucking work people put into their jobs. SO PAY YOUR FUCKING WORKERS

Those workers add HUMANITY and emotion and care into everything they do and that's not something you can replace with a fucking robot either

#writers strike #actors strike #heres an idea #PAY YOUR WORKERS #i love you Newsies for letting me develop this lovely thought #waiting for the day that ceos take their heads out of their self abeorbed asses #like is really that fucking hard #they say that they cant give into demands bc then itll show their week or some shit #but in all honesty showing you care for your workers and giving them what they deserve is a good thing and will make people like you more #i know its shocking but its true #im quitting my job today bc im not treated fairly and dont get paid enough #these people dont want to quit their jobs bc they love what they do and what it brings to people and they have the opportunity to fight #should they need to fight hell no but THEY CAN #so maybe these fucking dumbasses should LISTEN TO THEM #bc i sincerely believe they are horrendously underestimating how long people will fight for what they deserve #ok im going to bed now
