@phnt@kaia the but the reason is fucked up price laws. it is called "Merit-Order"
the most expensive necessary powerplant defines the price for all electricity. the idea is the cheapest, most cost effective way to generate energy has the highest profit margin.
btw indirectly nuclear energy has been at fault for the price surge last winter. france fucked up their nuclear power plants due to poor (expensive) maintenance and covid. germany did increase the fossil fuel reactors and used nuclear energy few more months to stabilize the market.
@sim@lain@jeff@DocScranton reminds me one reason walmart failed in germany was they are not used to work together with unions and tried to work against unions.
but unions and companies are more regulated here so there are laws on how to work together.
@sim tbh im not sure but this is borderline criminal by german law. (the statement u are quoting is close to relativizing the nazis, i assume it is fine but depending on the context it might fall into this)
on the topic itself:
besides u i only know one guy who cares about the whole strike.
a general strike also seems dumb. but thanks to monopolies and giant associations like the AMPTP. to my understanding not all writers/actors get the same rates. so why are all striking? shouldnt just those ones be striking which work for a bad company? people could be angry at a certain show than for not paying their staff well instead of having undirected anger towards everyone...
the other guy i know which is "on strike" is just not talking about Netflix as a publisher. he can still work as an author for his books since he can just release them after the strike. and he hinted he worked for a project being published in the US by netflix. but the actual company producing it is an international one so the international company is excluded from the strike.
