When Hollywood execs say that they'll wait until their writers/actors are losing their homes and starving to get them to come back to work, (bluffing or not,) they're laying bare the reason capitalists are so vehemently opposed to strong social policies;
If people don't have to work in order to ensure a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, good health, and food on their tables then corporations have zero means of coercing people to work in the unsafe, degrading, and/or meaningless jobs that facilitate profit for the owners and stockholders at the expense of everyone at the bottom of the organizational structure.
