At midnight last night the actors of SAG-AFTRA went on strike, joining the already striking screenwriters. To kick things off, the SAG-AFTRA union president, Fran Drescher, gave an fiery and defiant speech.
This is the first time that two major Hollywood unions have been on strike at the same time since 1960. when Ronald Reagan was the president of the actors’ guild. Reagan, of course, famously went on to become president of the United States.
Maybe one result of all this is that Fran Drescher will also one day become president of the United States. That would be a fascinating turn of events.
But if that happens, the worst nightmare of Republicans will come true. America will finally become a Nanny state.
