Sag and Aftra claim to have 171,157 actors, I'm sure most of us couldn't name100 actors. Most of these members are lucky to make a living wage. Yes, there are actors who are making millions, but that is a handful. This strike not only effects actors and writer, but also crews, caters, equipment rentals, hotels and on and on. Now I'm happy for the people who are satisfied to watch TCM for the rest of their lives, but you do understand that strikes like this have an effect on our economy. There is an unequitable amount of money at the top, anyone who denies that is living in a bubble. If there is a reduce in income because of streaming, then all parties should sit down and figure out how to share the reductions, not just the employees.
