Trends are moving away from television networks to streaming services with non-union shows doing very well in streaming services. I can easily see a writers strike creating a void that can be swallowed up by independent shows. By the time any writers strike is settled, will there be much of a market capital worth having a guild or union monopolize? This reminds me of a lot of manufacturing union strikes in the mid-west in the 80's where it was ended by the plant shutting down and throwing everyone to the street. Could the lead to a real estate crash around Hollywood?
