The layoffs and downsizing started BEFORE out of work writers started writing for free on the net between gigs.

MM seems to believe that only unskilled yokels, unlike himself, write for free on the net. That is, of course, as wrong as possible.

And, btw, blaming workers is not a very successful organizing strategy.
