It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.
This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in
It's because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.
Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is "disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people's time". The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don't Work. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.
They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.

Our Not in Harry’s Name campaign first officially began in 2010, seeking to stop the unethical sourcing of Harry Potter chocolate. We wanted to make sure that child slavery would no longer be carried out in Harry’s name. You joined us by signing petitions, spreading the word, and demanding Fair Trade products. Now, after years of collaboration with J.K. Rowling, Walk Free, and Warner Bros., we are thrilled to announce that we have won.

Nathan Stewart-Jarrett for Newt Scamander.
Going off Racebending’s headcanon.
oh gog yes
THIS. He looks so much like what I thought he would.
Somehow his hair is perfect for an adventurous, nerdy wizard, chasing magical creatures through the back alleys of New York, wearing a weird mix of Muggle clothing and wizard robes in a half-assed attempt to blend in.
"Trust me, I’m an expert!" he says, chasing a chimera down the sewers, wielding a knobby stick.
