Wil Wheaton @ e 3h-Q Disney's Bob Iger says that what the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are asking for "isn't realistic". | mean, the only reason asking for living wages and protection from Al exploitation isn't realistic is because greedy, selfish, billionaire boys want to hoard even more wealth. This man, whose creative contributions to the art that pays his salary approach zero, insists that the creative artists who have made him impossibly rich are being unrealistic when we ask for a living wage. At the same time, he's pocketing somewhere between 25 and 70 million dollars in a single year. WGA is asking, total, for all of its members, a contract that would represent about .091% of Disney's annual revenue. The unions are not being unrealistic or unreasonable. #UnionStrong #WGASolidarity #sagaftrastrong

Striking workers are speaking up for all of us. CEOs with cancerous paychecks are squeezing workers dry in every sector of the economy.
We cancelled all our streaming, in solidarity.
This is the one most powerful weapon that those of us who support labor have at the moment (I saw some members of SAG have cancelled theirs as well).
Disney & Netflix had space to write why in their cancellation . So I did. Suggest you write something like this in when you cancel your Disney subscription.
