    Any industry that still has unions has potential energy that could be released by startups.

        @samknight1 Definitely. Tickle fights and elaborate bedtime stories are the big winners so far.

        @paulg do you have a rationale behind that statement, or just a latent desire to reintroduce slavery?

        @KillGoldfish That companies constrained by unions have probably not done all they could, which leaves opportunities for startups.

        @Cast2thePeople In fact it was seeing a sitcom filmed that made me realize this.

        @paulg Yeah. Union actors in commercials get parts of the media buy, upwards of $80k/yr in residuals for a day of unskilled labor.
