Why were there so many episodes about labor strikes in 90s sci-fi? Can any xoomer fill us in?
>>221368130Name two more.
>>221368151Roseanne had at least two.
>>221368130It was a 90s thing. There was also one on the Nanny, iicr.
>>221368130Probably because of the baseball strike that resulted in a lost season.
>>221368130With the USSR destroyed and the economy soaring, the rich no longer felt particular threatened by the idea of domestic organized labor anymore, especially once they began outsourcing jobs in order to undermine any leverage domestic labor had. Now that the working class is legit suffering from a failed system and is looking for an alternative, and China has gone from a shithole basket case to a Socialist superpower, the rich are scared again. They no longer want real Americans to get any funny ideas about seizing the means of production. The /pol/tards will respond to this with "Muh Woke" as if that's not exactly the point. When's the last time you saw the characters enact a strike and drive out scabs instead of talk about DEI?
