What I saw last night and today with the Writers Guild was this: Their so called 'leadership' value their own egos and demands over the safety and well being of their own members. Instead of resuming negotiations with the studios, they would rather continue to make inflammatory accusations, make hidious demands that would make everyone suffer, and of course, refuse to negotiate and say that the studios themselves refuse to negotiate with them!
So yes, they would all rather drag themselves, and every member of their union to Hell fighting a losing battle for unreasonable demands that can't be met, and they bloody don't care how many shows and movies get cancelled and how many people lose their homes over their selfishness!
I'm done with those assholes, and I'm done with SAG as well since their 'leadership' is as rotten as well. If they wish to go bankrupt and have every show cancelled because they bloody refuse to act like adults and negotiate with the studios fairly, then so be it! Nobody with a brain will feel sorry for them if they do.
If all this nonsense ends because of mutinies breaking out in the unions, or with the networks breaking away from the streamers and waivering all their shows, then the unions only have themselves to blame for refusing to play fair. They could've all prevented this if they had just taken the first deal the studios offered them, instead they have chosen the wrong path, and they refuse to get off it.
God help them, and all their members who are stuck being dragged down with them if they don't want to.
