Well, selfishly I'm glad you opened up about it as this post informed me of things I was aware of, but not really in the know. And I empathize as well since I'm an author too and I would be just as upset.

I support the strikers, both groups. Can't say I'm directly affected, but I still think they are very brave.

On a personal note, if I can help you out some, ask. Things are flush for me and mine right now, and while we might need a hedge, I think you guys need it more at this point.
