Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount, others determined to “break the WGA.” Studios and producers believe by October writers will be running out of money after five months and no work, “a cruel but necessary evil.”

The greed in our world is just absurd. Fuck these corporations.
“There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit And it’s filled with people who are filled with shit And the vermin of the world inhabit it”
Work for everyone but the biggest corporations. Write for the smaller studios while the big ones starve. When small studios are making record profits while Paramount runs out of material, they’ll be more eager to negotiate.
Maybe that specific plan won’t work, but the WGA will think of something. They’re not stupid.
Notice how you don’t hear the WGA complaining. This whole story is just producers trying to placate their investors, and not really doing a convincing job of it. Writers are used to going way longer than 5 months between gigs. I’m a little surprised we aren’t seeing producers in the streets, begging for handouts.
Come on let’s bail out the writers, we bailed out businesses too many times!
