Universities with multibillion dollar endowments withholding livable wages from their own grad students; Studio executives who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year resisting giving livable wages to their writers; A third of Americans living economically unstable lives; 1 million homeless children in America’s public schools; A higher poverty rate in the United States by far than in any other advanced democracy —- The sooner we collectively recognize that something has gone too far, that the system as it is is not working, the sooner we will collectively rise to the challenge of embracing and fostering fundamental change.

Those writers aren't poor. They are alive, yes? Then they are already making a livable wage by definition. In fact, most are fat. Maybe a wage cut to slim them down to healthy weights.

Marianne is a genius at pointing out the obvious. Too bad she lacks any skills to craft policy and get it through a deeply divided Congress like Joe Biden has done
