The Television Writers Strike Will Destroy America

I find it strange that no one has pointed out the obvious about this writers strike. Come on America wake up! The beginning of the end is here, your world as you know it is over. The television writers have decided to strike bringing a halt to our beloved television shows. Will Booth and Bones finally realize their love for each other? Will McDreamy finally move on and get over Meredith? Will Jack finally get tired of saving an ungrateful America and move to Canada? Like the meaning of life, these questions may never be answered. You might think I am overreacting but have you really thought of the consequences of the strike and how it will affect the world around you?

Without an evening of television to fill the gaping maw of time after you get home from work and the kids go to sleep what are we left to do? Instead of picking up that quick meal so you can feed the family and finish in time to watch CSI you might decide to cook. Sounds healthy and wholesome right? Wrong. What about those poor restaurants? Without customers they would have to close down. No restaurants, no jobs for food service workers. No jobs for food service workers, no tax money off their wages. Guess who has to pick up the difference? Not to mention if there are all of those buildings sitting empty there would be no need for new construction, right?! There is another whole group of people out of work. If these people aren't working, they aren't shopping causing the retail workers to lose their jobs. See the snowball effect? Television strike leads to mass unemployment, which leads to mass recession, which leaves a hurting America ripe for the plucking by some ingenious puppet master, which leads to Paris Hilton as president.
