Ah-ha! you do feel outrage for the poorest of the writers involved in the strike. Since the companies aren't paying enough for them comfortably raise a family in L.A.

you know, strikes aren't always only for money for one's self.

This strike is also about keeping a career pathway open for the future. One point is that the route the companies want to go gives short-term profit (writers are involved less) but will result in long-term disaster for the film industry (as fewer writers will understand the ropes).

But hey, even if that doesn't affect your sense of outrage, why do you accept the company owners and upper management by default are expected to get all the money?
