   You are “shaming” a whole country because a few cast shame towards your region. The initial comment that you are defending was just such an ignorant attack on Americans.

   Anyone who has seen five minutes of news from America knows that there is no single attitude, no single political approach, no single look… Anyone putting “you Americans…” in a comment is displaying ignorance.

   Thank you all for the feedback. What I’ve gleaned is that TV, and especially streaming writing is pretty drab and thus easily replaceable, so a union is a good protection. I suppose the superior writers make it to the movies where they can negotiate individual contracts, or go to comic strips as self-employed artists.

   I’ve repeated often in the comments, I am pro-Union.

   It’s not a uniform relation across all job types. Corporate’s control over a unique talent is only as great as that talent allows. The individual can take their product elsewhere, and when they go, corporate has no ability to recreate that.

   We don’t fear our bodies. The commercials don’t present a true picture of us. Ads are designed to try to scare us into believing we need some new product that mankind has lived without up to now. If you are judging Americans from our commercials, then I suggest you do a bit more research.

   I can’t get them when they do that, but one this week made the mistake of buzzing my ear. I made the the mistake of reacting automatically. I squished him (yay) against my cheek (eww). There were no winners in that engagement.

   I find unions for artists a strange concept. Unions originated to protect people doing work where nearly anyone could do a comparable job. And I support those unions. But each artist has a unique vision and it is the value of that vision and the presentation there-of that determines the artists worth. Are the streaming shows that bland that writing for them is just a pedestrian job?

    I don’t get Sock-Monk, the rest are plays on Indian/Hindu concepts: The armadillo is named Dharma (merit)-Dillo, the orange haired one is Peggy-Sutra (text, or manual) named after a rock song, Tantra (instruction)-Clause should be obvious if you’re American, and the last one is explained by @ACK!, above.
