“I mean (the alternate view) who is striking? The writers. Who gets hurt? You.”

We are inconvenienced, OK, really bummed. The writers will be without any income while trying to salvage their careers. And the allied trades will suffer. It’s really hard on the participants.

I mean (the alternate view) who is striking? The writers. Who gets hurt? You.

This is one reason why unions may not be in everybody’s interest. It’s fine having someone to speak up, but are you prepared to strike?

I assume Canadian writers are not affected, nor are European based writers.

Question for DS staffer:

Does it help or hinder your cause if we all rush to the Daily Show clip archive whilst we’re not getting our daily fix? I’m guessing yes, because it shows they can make money from the advertising they sell on showing this media, but please correct me if I’m wrong!
