I bet the staff wouldn’t be struggling so much if he paid them more in the first place

People struggle when they don’t get paid due to not working. This shouldn’t be surprising. “Just pay them more” doesn’t work here unless you want everyone to be getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for every job, at which point inflation goes to 100% a year and you end up paying $5000 for an apple.

Writers, the ones complaining, get paid a shitload for their work. They get paid $100k for about 7 weeks work…and they want more… and they’ve somehow convinced the public who earn significantly less than them to stand up for them and fight to make them more money lol. One of the best grifts of all time tbh.
