Living with the Writer's Strike...

[Shazam]

OK, now that the TV/movie writer's strike is a never-ending story, have you decided to settle on a diet of reality shows, or are you, instead, looking for DVD, video games, or your iPod?

What say you?

I heard something about no more decent TV as everyone is on strike... what do these guys have? deep pockets? - If I didn't work for a month... I wouldn't have a job to come back to.

Only a small number of top-tier writers are so gifted. Most are just working people, making good middle-class salaries, but not much more. So, yes, they are hurting. But supposedly this is a matter of principle.

The executives are rich regardless.

I feel so much better.... now that the forum is fixed :P

Yes, the rich get richer and poor get poorer - you know the good old saying

Or the poor work and struggle to innovate and become a member of the rich.

But yeah, Nintendo DS now and I watch some of my favorite reality stuff without any extras. I also do the whole Netflix thing.

Most people don't have a lot of time, I can squeeze in an hour or two a day luckily. Heh.

My issue is I don't want to be rich and famous. I dont want either. I just want out of debt.

As Winston Churchill would say:

"The price of greatness is responsibility." - kinda fits
