The WGA strike is in full effect! The stand off between the writers and the AMPTP is heading towards its second month. The producers are probably hoping that time weakens the resolve of the writers who are going to be desperate for some funds considering most writers in Hollywood live paycheck to paycheck. What they fail to realize is that writers have been struggling for a long time. Tv shows go on hiatus, or worse they get cancelled, writers are adept at finding ways to survive despite meagre opportunities. It remains to be seen just how impactful this strike will be in the long run.
