Politically Correct Picket Lines

Where else? Hollywood, and the writers picket lines. Now there is a gay one, a Black one, and soon look for lesbian pickets, transgender pickets and on and on. These assholes need to starve in order to get down to basics. Like I've said over and over, SAG runs the show. Actors are the only union that can shut down the town(s) and keep them shut down. And it is their upcoming contract that is the most important because it is the greedy actors (stars) taking percentages off the top that has caused the Studio Red ink. That plus the slump in DVD sales. It's the actors wages and bennys (perks) that is and will be the stumbling block. Look for some writers to break their own strike (some probably are already), the live TV people to find an excuse to go back to work, and the studios to hang tough til they can negotiate a contract with the biggest union and biggest problem, the actors. Had the stupid writers held off their "strike" til the actors were negotiating and agree to strike with them in exchange for a guarantee that the actors wouldn't cross their picket lines financial sanity might have prevailed. Right now you have a bunch of zero business IQs pretending to be big shots "negotiating" with a business that is hemorrhaging money. Keep in mind that the hate America movies have been all financed by Wall Street and hedge funds (now around $5bln in the hole) from outside of the system so you can't count those.
