Frankly, the writers are really the ones being selfish. Right now, they are putting a lot of production crew members out of work. That's what's dumb about strikes in general; financially, they hurt many people that have nothing to do with the issue.

Although, I do like that a lot of idiotic, obnoxious, narcissistic, spoiled and overpaid actors are being put out of work.

That’s the nature of the business. If you want job security, you need to go into a field where you are always in high enough demand, such as medicine, but most of those kinds of jobs require a degree of commitment that many people would rather avoid, and that’s why they have high job security.

Spoken like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Scripts, good one at least, do not get written overnight. They require a great deal of work, usually done with no guarantee of payment. And few writers reach a level of success (by which I mean making enough to pay a mortgage) for many years. It takes a hell of a lot of commitment for someone to seek a creer in writing - a long shot job with long hours, little pay (except for a small percentage), and low recognition.

That's kind of an interesting angle, Finn. Seems to me people will pay what workers are willing to accept, regardless of the field we're talking about. In this case, the professional writers have decided they aren't going to accept what they're getting. If they truly are a dime a dozen, then I'm sure the studios will have no problem hiring out their work to scabs.

As insiders assure themselves that the industry is too wounded to let another shutdown happen, THR checks in with the crew people battered by last year’s walkout and potentially ready to do it again: "I’m telling you, these people are pissed."
