The issue with SAG at the moment is that the need to figure out whether to shit or else get off the pot... Cartels, conglomerates and the rich (I mean The Rich) don't really suffer in down turns and use the suffering of regular working folk to make more money by stoking the flames of their fears against each other and diverting anger away from themselves.
