Wikipedia says the 2007-2008 WGA Writers Strike has cost $1b:
“The current strike has lasted 13 weeks and 1 day, as of February 5, 2008. The last such strike in 1988 lasted 21 weeks and 6 days, costing the American entertainment industry an estimated $500 million ($870 million in 2007 dollars).[6][7]
According to a report on the January 13 edition of NBC Nightly News, taking into account everyone affected by it, the strike already had cost the industry $1 billion as of that date; this is a combination of lost wages to cast and crew members of television and film productions and payments for services provided by janitorial services, caterers, prop and costume rental companies, and the like.[8]“
…have to assume the billion bux includes location scouts as well in spite of the fact that we weren’t specifically listed.
I just keep thinking, “there’s gotta be a better way”
