The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

    But we’re not talking about salary here. We’re talking residuals, per quarter, paid on top of the salary they received for the original work.

    For a show that is 13 years old. Collecting $6k per quarter for work you did 13 years ago and that you have to do absolutely nothing for anymore seems pretty good to me?

    There’s a hell of a lot of working class people who would absolutely love to be getting paid like that. Trying to frame this as the working class vs the rich seems really dishonest. Do TV writers even understand what the working class is, or how much we make? I sure as hell don’t collect $6k per quarter for work I did 13 years ago. If I did, I’d be rich.
