they are not shill or bootlicker. they're not backing up anybody but themselves. "if i was paid one time for my job why would they get more" the same mentality with "homeless people should just get a job" and "why would i pay for others Healthcare". typical selfish american.

No, it's just ridiculous that these well-off Hollywood writers are demanding special treatment. Practically every other profession works on a salaried basis, in practically every corner of the world.

They aren't demanding that their colleagues who work behind the scenes like the set crews, editors and support staff get residuals.

No, their motive is entirely selfish and they come off extremely entitled when they place themselves above the rest of the people who are responsible for creating a product.

Well duh, the lower your incomr is compared to others the less of life's pleasures their able to afford. If everyone else starts doing better then costs increase as demand rises and now I can't afford shit.
