Good ole Uncle Bernie never misses a chance to wax poetic about socialism. Everyone’s favorite quirky communist is at it again, gang.
Last year, 8 Hollywood CEOs made nearly $800 million, yet pay for TV writers has fallen by 23 percent over the last 10 years. I stand with the nearly 12,000 @WGAWest writers on strike for a fair contract.

How much did you make @SenSanders vs the employees that work on your staff?

Oh, come on! Everyone knows it’s redistribution for thee but not for Uncle Bernie.
SAG should provide the world a learning lab for income redistribution. Redistribute all actors' earnings to all members. Allow the top actors 8X the bottom, but absolutely no more. Walk the talk. If it works, expand to musicians, then sports. They can learn and fix as they go

Ladies and gentlemen, may we introduce Little Bernie. This idea would never work, by the way.
It's easy for you to stand around with them, given that you've never had an actual product job.

Ouch! That one is going to leave a mark!
Are you enjoying your latest mansion purchase? How many do you have now?

Rumor has it he’s up to eleventy now, but it is only rumor.
I stand for a free market that pays employees based on merit/ability/talent… not tenure. Let’s face it… a union team of writers is one good writer and a bunch of union hacks. Much like government workers…. pic.twitter.com/Uy21JmOg4L

Joe, you need to learn to stop holding back! Please tell us how you really feel.
TV writing is at least 23% worse than it was 10 years ago.

No doubt with AI it will be even harder for these writers in the future.
— Ali Rom (@alicjarom) May 2, 2023
Tony made an excellent point. Most TV sucks anymore.
To Ali’s point, one must wonder if AI may not be writing scripts already. It would explain quite a bit.
CEO pay and writer pay bear no relation to each other. And ChatGPT is about to drive writer wages down even more.

Next on Fox: ‘Terminator Rise of the Robot Writers’
Cause their stuff sucks, they should all be fired

Given the exceptionally poor quality and loss of viewers, what makes them them they deserve more?
— Skeptical Tamara (@SkepticalTamara) May 3, 2023
The content of the writing needs to improve. It’s horrible now. I can barely stand to sit through a movie now, and it used to be my favorite thing to do.
— KentuckyK (@MenegottoKelsey) May 2, 2023
Considering how bad the shows have been, they need at least a 85% pay cut. Maybe just fire them.
— Ennuibert (@Ennuibert) May 2, 2023
There seems to be a theme here; maybe the writers should take notes?
Nah! Who are we kidding? Hollywood elite types don’t listen.
Trying for another house paid for by DNC?

Was it that obvious to you too? We thought it was just us. Bernie Sanders is America’s least favorite Pander Bear, after all.
