Independent Thought is joining with Counterpoint Politics & Cocktails and Capitalism to create a brand new show. Firstly, yes, Independent Thought is still going to continue, this is an additional show that I'll be a part of. It's a weekly show, geared towards discussing major news stories with other content creators on the Left. We have a brand new YouTube channel where you can find all of these episodes, but I also wanted to release a few of our older episodes on the podcast. To see our latest episodes, head to the YouTube link below.
***Also, for those of you on Spotify, there are videos attached to these episodes!*** So you should be able to watch the video as well.
The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers had been negotiating over pay, streaming residuals and other issues for a new contract to replace a three-year deal that expired May 1. A majority of the WGA’s membership voted in April to authorize a strike if an agreement wasn’t reached. On Monday evening, the boards of directors of the WGA’s East and West coast divisions voted to call a strike effective 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. The WGA says late-night talk shows would be among the first to be affected by a possible strike. Southern California’s production economy was upended during the last writers’ strike, which lasted 100 days and happened in 2007-08.
