And how do you think unions come about? Historically it's by setting things on fire.

The chest and stomach windows

Are too similar

for me to not see it

The outfit alone was enough for my wife and I to both instantly go "oh that's some Barbarella looking shit". The context of it being at a scifi premiere cemented in my mind that it was an aware homage but I could be wrong.

I feel like everyone is missing the clear Barbarella reference with this outfit, which is fitting for a scifi premier.

That's one way to look at it, if you're looking to downplay the human impact. The way I look at is these companies had a short sighted hiring spree and now thousands of people are without income and can't just get a new job as the industry is laying off everywhere. That seems like a reasonable source of panic for the people with no income and not a lot of prospects.
