I've seen a few people grouse about "how much" actors and writers make. The common—and correct—rejoinder is to point out that most of them don't make that.

But another element I think needs to be pointed out there: the ones with money are right now _fighting for the people who don't make that kind of money_. They are doing it for the ones who come next. For the writers and actors who are just now entering into the market.

There's a lot to be said for that as well.

@hrefna The other aspect, to me, is: they've all agreed to a lower initial payment in exchange for ongoing payments in the future.

Gaming the books and accounting to change that is, at best, immoral.
