Congrats - kinda
I'm glad when any group gets justice, as you have apparently here, and when people are productive and contributing to society again. But is the last of these three points really operative here? Sure, there's a demand for your product, as evidenced by the ratings, however dismal they may be at times, but does your product really make our society a better place? From what I've seen, itself an exercise in patience and self-control, I respectfully think not. The values your writing expresses and the ever-lower levels of discourse which it drives have not only not bettered our society, but have actively brought it down. What the strike really demonstrated to me, at least, was that not only did no one outside your field of endeavor really care about your issues, no one really missed your product. Simply put, we were better off without it.
