Biden 2024 Challenger Marianne Williamson Likens Hollywood Strikes To Union Efforts At Amazon, Starbucks: 'Another Rumble In A Gigantic Earthquake'

As Hollywood grapples with strikes from actors and writers, Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson took to Twitter on Friday to express her views on the issue, stating that it signifies a larger shift in the economic paradigm.

What Happened: Williamson commented on the strikes, suggesting that they represent more than just the woes of one industry. She compared them to union efforts at companies like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Starbucks Inc. (NASDAQ:SBUX), describing these collective actions as “another rumble in a gigantic earthquake.”

Why It Matters: The strikes in Hollywood have been causing significant disruption, with both actors and writers uniting in a work stoppage — at a time when there's been a growing interest in using AI replicas of actors in the industry.

According to Williamson — who is challenging President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary in 2024 — these collective efforts could potentially “overthrow a paradigm by which a few with tremendous capital economically tyrannize those simply struggling to get by.”
