We definitely need counter articles about the economic impact of poor pay, poor benefits, and poor scheduling.

Just remember this is the studios choice. They will not sign the contracts. Nothing the writers and actors are requesting is unreasonable. The studios are choosing to make people suffer rather than negotiate in good faith. They can end this tomorrow by simply signing the contracts so everyone can get back to work.

Been seeing this a lot with the writers strike too. Talks about how people are struggling and starving. Sad thing is it works with a lot of people who are already predispositioned to hate anything Hollywood.
