Watched PBS on the Roku about Walt Disney up to the strike. I will see part two when I can, but I can feel a bit of empathy for his side. I'm not a bigot, afterall, so I see why the strike occurred. It was a bit extreme from the looks of it, but Disney made something from nothing and drove it to where it seemed unlimited when everyone else was uneasy about his pushing animation beyond slapstick comics. It was his name on the Studio, but he needed labor to achieve his goal. Hmmm... what is fair in such circumstances isn't fair to everyone.
The whole argument about the haves and have-nots all boiling down to 1% vs 99% types is bs if the 1% reached heights by the means Disney endured. Almost defeats point of striving for improvement if end result benefits everyone more than the one who risked everything.
