    The studios think they can outlast the strikers. If California did this, that hope dies and this strike ends sooner, which benefits California since that’s one of their top earning industries.

    Is it what it was intended for? Decidedly not. Is it a good use of that funding regardless? You bet your ass it is.

    I’ll take solidarity in whatever form it comes.
