"The LCBO brings in about $2.5 billion for the Ontario government each year. Exactly how it earns that money is not always transparent to the public.

LCBO retail outlets — the 680 stores currently shut by strike — account for nearly 80 per cent of the Crown corporation's gross revenue, according to its most recent annual report.

The rest comes primarily from LCBO's role as a distributor to bars, restaurants and supermarkets. "

Why the #WGAStrike hits home for me personally (aside from the fact that I'm a writer and we should stand together):

Recently, I wrote an article (I won't say for whom) that I believe, but can't prove, was edited by a generative text program. The edit introduced exactly the kind of confident factual errors that are the hallmark of GT. I had to work post-publish to get them fixed.

Fair wages are vital. So is keeping humans in charge of writing and editing.

#UnionStrong #SupportTheStrike

Writers in every industry are facing a wave of declining salaries, job cuts and algorithms replacing human writers and editors. The WGA may represent one kind of writer, but they are fighting for all of us. I support the WGA strike, and whether you write for a living or just care about your content coming from humans making a living wage, you should too.

If you were willing to applaud on your doorstep but unwilling to support striking NHS workers then you don’t support the NHS, you support making yourself feel better.
