Just took another look at the terms that ended the writers' strike and what stands out to me is that the total value of the deal is $233 million/year. To put that into perspective: Disney's streaming revenues were $5.5 billion *last quarter* and Netflix's profit was $1.5 billion *last quarter*

Upshot: the studios and streamers shut down production over a friggin rounding error on their accounting spreadsheet. smdh.

@DataDrivenMD the brainworms from the rich are really something. It's not enough to have a lot of money, they must have ALL THE MONEY. Every penny and cent from every employee, squeeze every drop of blood and suffering, yes they may not even notice it on a book but the point is they got it and cemented their place as the rightful masters and that's enough for them.

(that last bit is a joke, it's never enough)
