Something I’ve been working on for awhile and finally finished:
HAIDIÀN
Located on a small volcanic island near the equator, Haidiàn is the capital of Qingxing, also known as Gliese 105 A.02, as well as its largest city, though it posseses a population of only 70,000 permanent residents. Divided into five main districts, the city is composed of a mix of prefab colonial structures from the early settlement to larger buildings constructed in the decades since. Most buildings in the city are designed to float in case of flooding and many residents use amphibious vehicles rather than gyrocars for this reason.
Although Haidiàn isn’t a major vacation spot, the tourism industry has been growing for some time and as a result there are a number of amenities available for visitors, from hotels to five star restaurants to mid-priced brothels.
First settled in 2104, Gliese 105 A.02, also known as Qingxing, is an ocean-covered planet interspersed with a series of small to large islands, where the vast majority of settlements are located, though some are built directly on the sea floor or as floating habitats. Most of the planet’s islands are barely over 100 meters above sea level, which makes flooding a constant risk even in settlements with a firm foot on “dry” land. Complicating matters is the fact that the planet’s ganglial net formations have rendered the surface of the ocean mildly acidic, making construction and even transportation difficult. As a result the colony has experienced consistently slow growth, despite its otherwise very high habitability.
Before the Dog War, Jingti Lóng established Gliese 105 A.02 as a Chinese colony under the administration of the China / Asian Nations Cooperative or CANC. During the War, however, Jingti Lóng split from the Cooperative and defected to the United Americas and Three World Empire, pulling control of the planet and the rest of the Gliese 105 system away from China. Not long after this, Jingti Lóng and Hyperdyne Systems established the Independent Core Systems Colonies. Today, the system is almost completely under the control of the Jingti Lóng Corporation itself.
Qingxing is most notable as a scientific research site, the center of a major Geholgod Institute investigation into the ganglial nets, an unexplained xenobiological phenomenon that has been located on a handful of ocean worlds throughout the Middle Heavens. In addition to this, Qingxing is the center of a major petroleum extraction operation under one of Jingti Lóng’s subsidiaries and a growing aquaculture industry, primarily for local consumption.

It’s crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.
This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in
It’s because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.
Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is “disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people’s time”. The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don’t Work. I don’t think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.
They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.
