Writers Strike

Then the ones who are even able to still get a job can put down their signs, tuck their tails between their legs and come crawling back

Oh, come on, you can't just replace writers like air traffic controllers and surgeons.

Anyway, in all seriousness, if it was that easy, don't you think they would have already done it?

You're right. But I think it has more to do with the fact that anyone who could fill the jobs is probably reluctant to it, even if they're not a part of the writers guild, because if and when it's resolved they'd then be a scab in retrospect.
And being a scab isn't what you want to be. Unions and strikers rule though fear really.

Which really devastates your previous point. Or if not devastates, completely weakens him.
