    this is a pretty good article covering the contract and noting that it’s only an agreement with WGA (not SAG-AFTA) but i want to correct one point they make:

    No. TV and film production doesn’t happen overnight, and while it will likely ramp up rapidly once the actors come back to work, the lengthy strike has caused inevitable delays and hiccups.

    the delays have been caused by greedy execs who were literally hoping to starve their writers out instead of granting them contractual protections and paying them fairly

    the execs have caused these delays and ultimately cost their corporations far more than what they’d have lost just agreeing to this contract in the first place

    don’t forget that point. everything sucks because of shitty execs. nothing but greed and reluctance to acknowledge worker power was stopping them from coming to the table four months ago
