    Underfunded? Y’all are doing better than your parents were?

    I’m on season 3 and I’m still pissed about the pay.

          Man, at this point, I can’t even get scab writers. We’re running on AI generated scripts and puppets.

          And none of those good puppets either. We’re down to dirty sock puppets and paint on hands.

            They’re just plagiarizing old copy and pirating old footage from movies, TV shows and Youtube videos and plastering a new title on everything … they’re using a team of kids from India to put it all together … and it’s not even in HD!

      If we’re extending the metaphor here, then no, things just LOOK better. Like how cgi is so cheap now that they can make stuff that looks like the avengers for the the budget of a(n) (inflation adjusted) episode of the X-Files. The budget is still in the tank, though. Make no mistake
