I’m a showrunner who is very much for this and knows that there were thousands of survey responses from WGA members who did, in fact, ask for it.

The WGA proposed that TV shows should hire a minimum of six to 12 writers, but some writers disagree. “Nobody asked for this,” said one prominent showrunner. “Every showrunner I know is against this. It doesn’t make sense to anybody.”

This frequent billionaires attack deserves some scrutiny. A billionaire, like anyone else, can only donate $2800 to a campaign. So 60 billionaires equals $168,000. Add spouses and it’s $336,000. That’s .5% of what Biden has raised. Hardly qualifies as “funding” Biden’s campaign.
