Production slowed to a halt in film/TV starting Nov 2019 and no one told workers why. Now it's obvious that corporate CEOs knew then that covid was coming and protected their assets, not their people. By Jan 2020 all my work as a contractor producing transcripts had already disappeared, and we were not given any information to explain why.
The execs took off for their offshore island homes and left us here to deal.
These are same companies that made us all contractors starting in 1990s so they would be free of workers comp, unemployment, sick leave, payroll taxes- dumped it all on us.
You know. Freedom.
THANK GOD for Gavin Newsom who made it possible for contractors in California to get unemployment during covid pandemic and also for Joe Biden who added a stimulus payment to EDD.

PLUS here is a bonus footnote:
Same people who would not wear masks for months in 2020, calling covid a hoax, now think, thanks to big pharma vaccines, pandemic's over
