人们往往倾向于忽视已经拥有的美好事物，直到失去时才捶胸顿足、追悔莫及。比如说今天要讲的好莱坞和他们的编剧团队。美国编剧协会（The Writers Guild of America,又称WGA）和电影与电视制片人联盟（the Alliance of Motion Pictureand Television Producers,又称AMPTP ）在过去一个月就编剧的酬劳问题进行激烈的磋商（heated netiation），若无法达到满意的结果编剧协会将和2007年一样进行百日罢工（outage），让赚钱赚到麻木的资方体会大出血的切肤之痛。编剧协会表示，去年影视行业收获了高达510亿美元的利润，而奉献巨大的编剧们却不仅没有分得应有的一杯羹（a fair slice of the pie），平均收入还下降了23%。故而编剧联盟希望通过强硬的手段（coordinated efforts and hardstance）让影视公司提升编剧们的医疗及养老待遇，并在合同和版税（royalty）方面做出更合理的调整。
