The kind of speech that leaves you taken aback

As I am trying to stay informed on the progress of the WGA strike, I found these threads by John Rogers (via N. K. Jemisin) and Javier Grillo-Marxuach particularly useful:

"Man, I do not want to strike, None of us do. But if we don't, mine is the last generation of screenwriters who will even have a chance to have a stable career. We will damn all the screenwriters who come after us to a gig economy, with all that entails."

For generations, see Emily Kim, across two strikes.
