an end to the strike?

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — The three-months-long Hollywood writers strike could enter its final chapter Saturday when guild members gather in Los Angeles and New York to consider a proposed contract.

If writers respond favorably, the walkout that has devastated the entertainment industry could end as soon as Monday.

Writers were wavering between hope and skepticism as they prepared to learn details of the deal for the first time.

Oh, it would be nice. I’d love to know they’re all snugly back at their computers, tack-tacking away at the keys. I’m so sick of reruns I could just spit. Though to be honest, Netflix has taken good care of me these 3 months.

I really wish the WGA writers all the best; I hope they get what they wanted, for all their trouble.

I believe that someone who creates something should share the profits; in fact, the creative talent should have the lion’s share, as compared with those who merely transmit it. I realize that’s a vast oversimplification of the matter at hand. I’m just saying, don’t muzzle the ox that threshes the grain.
