Oh, it fucking figures. We get the writer's strike. You know, the ones that we had articles all over the new for months beforehand with writers saying "Oh, we're going to strike" and little to no information about what they were doing to, you know, stop it from happening. No one came out and said "Holy crap, remember last time this happened? We need to fix this soon!" but were all pretty much saying "La la la I can haz pick3t linz plz?"
So, as someone who was around for and remembers the last writers strike...and the fact that there's actually shows on I'm watching on TV this season, I'm pretty much screwed over. But of course, all I see are things in support of the writer's strike. And, naturally, nothing about what they're doing to stop it.
I've even seen 'I support the strike!' icons.
And I've been in enough situations in the last week that the whole 'Be patient, Kyle' and 'Accept what others are doing no matter how fucked-over you feel, Kyle' stance Does. Not. Wash. I've had enough of being the one to cave, to give in, to accept, when so little of the same is ever given to me.
Naturally, I don't support the strike. I want it over and done with, so we can get back to normal. The last time, it was really annoying. It still is.

Date: 2007-11-08 11:59 pm (UTC)Well, it's a strike. Being in support of it does stop it. The only thing that can stop this strike is the writer's demands (which, last I checked, was a raise of four cents) being met. Throwing as much support as possible behind the writers in effect serves to shorten the strike, because it shows that the public, who are losing out on their programming, are behind the writers and don't find their demands to be unreasonable.
The strike does suck, yes. But the fault doesn't lie with the strikers. And the best thing to do at this point is to support the strike.
