They should just quit and find other work.
Striking in a dead industry is pointless and a complete waste of time and effort, not to mention actively detrimental to those wasting their time doing this instead of specializing in a different career.

His potential re-election is both obvious and concerning.
A celebrity with no formal education or experience in politics, geopolitics or law has no place speaking on it to the public. Opinions are fine, but people on the whole seem to be unable to make clear in their own minds that the opinions of a celebrity are opinions wholly based on their personal purview and not professional experience.
As much as I wish that could be done, it's completely unrealistic.
We will be using oil based products well into the 3200's even if every vehicle became electric tomorrow.
Too many subsidiary products like plastic and various artificial fibers, a plethora of chemicals, life jackets, epoxy's, roof tiles, nylon, dentures, bandages, tape, various thermal linings, and well over 6,000 other massively and widely used products.
At what point are these fucking conglomerates to god damn big?
Well I trust mexican made far more than I trust homeland chinese made. I just hope BYD doesn't use the same schematics they're using for the vehicles of theirs that are blowing up all over china
Real talk, they should be forcing the oil industry to invest in clean and renewable energy at their own cost
Or the theory, given how many meetings Epstein had with the former PM of isreal, that he was working for Mossad/CIA to create a large honeypot/blackmail ring of highly influential people and politicians.
They can strike all they want, they work for a business whose model only functions off of squeezing their employees, so it's either squeeze the employee's or collapse.
Personally I think they should collapse and people should riot in the streets until their respective governments cave and say fuck you to the oil industry and start building public transport infrastructure
Rimworld, palworld, armored core vi, ready or not, cp2077 and metro
2d means no consent necessary and no worries beyond artist mistreatment or underpayment by the publisher.
Which is a molehill compared to the mountain of issues in the actual sex work industry.
I don't disagree that quality journalism exists, however I would posit that current day journalists have more incentive to cover nonsense like the current topic as opposed to serious issues like tax avoidance from billionaires or inappropriate gifts, travel and monetary donations to various individuals in power (and their backing bodies) from multinational corporations and their associated c-suites. A key issue of note is the increasing rate over the last few years in which individuals with journalistic integrity are being shunted aside or outright murdered, or imprisoned, for their investigations into such things (kashoggi being one of the largest international examples of this, but I would posit the majority of individuals that work for the ICIJ would fall under that umbrella as well, seeing as a number of them have been murdered in recent years, which in my opinion deters serious journalism that holds those elected to account)
I would also note that the international nature of corrupt banking and the intertwining of banking interests with military industrial interests creates a system of active suppression and aversion.
Especially given the inherent need for local journalists to travel abroad to unfavourable countries to get answers from multinational companies alleged to be engaged in nefarious actions whether directly or within their supply chains.
This quote from the official inquiry regarding the murder of Daphne Galizia is particularly chilling in my opinion:
"The fact remains that in the board’s opinion, Daphne Caruana Galizia’s writing about the intimacy between big business and politics led to her assassination."
Apologies in advance for link spam. Sources in case you may have missed any of the above/in case others would like to dive further:
Two international investigations shut down with direct violence:

Specifically murder in relation to their investigations. You'll notice a trend between terror and banking crisis years and increase of journalist murders. 2023 was lower but appears to be an outlier, here's hoping the 2023 trend continues:

(cpj.org is a pretty decent resource for keeping up to date on the amount of missing/imprisoned/killed journalists worldwide)
ICIJ link because I think they do good work:
Ground news link to assist with sifting through biased articles (I'm guessing more people are aware of this, but I have found it particularly useful these days with certain organizations choosing to omit facts or present an incomplete scenario to push a narrative)
Sure, just opt away from anything that's created by artists and you're good.
However I was specifically positing an option outside of the sex work industry that doesn't have a significant history of drug abuse, sexual abuse, worker abuse, and overall unhealthy precedents.
