The Writers Guild is urging Hollywood to stop film production in states that ban abortion following the leaked Supreme Court draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. On Wednesday the The Writers Guild of America West, the union that represents writers in film, television, radio and internet programming, called on their employers to not film in states that ban abortion and instead opt for locations where abortion will be preserved by state law. 'In light of the leaked #SupremeCourt draft opinion on #abortionrights, we want to reaffirm our Guild's commitment to fighting on our members' behalf against inequality and discrimination,'

Ha ha ha. These Hollywood types crack me up. When was the last time Hollywood put out a movie that anyone cared about. Haven’t been to the movies in years. But I’m planning to see 2000 Mules. If it’s ever allowed to be shown in my state of Michigan..

"urges" in this setting is by definition: "coercion" States that lose this business can and should prosecute for Felony Restraint of Trade. The answer is always to fight back, hard.

Georgia will be one of those states. And Georgia has a huge film industry here, second only to California. You may hate him, but Brian Kemp did sign one of the most restrictive abortion laws that states an abortion may not take place once a fetal heartbeat is detectable. And right after that law Hollyweird said they were not going to make films here anymore. That was 2019. 2021 set a record for film industry activity in the state at over 4.1 billion. 4,100,000,000.00 > 3200.00

Back in the late 1970s, when the Equal Rights Amendment was dying on the vine, lots of professional organizations vowed not to hold conferences in states that did not vote for the Equal Rights Amendment. That threat faded away pretty quickly.

Who cares? How many citizens of a state get any benefit from a movie made in said state? For that matter, does the vast majority of citizens even know a movie or show is being shot in their state? Many of these things are shot in warehouses or late at night if on location. The trucks pull in late at night, shoot a scene, and pack up and leave before your normal citizen even knows anything was going on.

At one time almost all filming was done in California or New York. Why go elsewhere? Production costs became exorbitant in those wonderful blue states. In the long run, follow the money. Hollywood doesn't want to pay 20% to make a film that will probably lose money at the box office anyway.

I think that is absolutely the "best" thing for Hollyweird. They should shun all of the low tax red States in favor of all the high tax blue States. Just goes to show you that the economic brains in Hollyweird will financially bankrupt themselves. It would go along with their moral bankruptcy.

In news that will surprise absolutely no one, it is being reported that Joe Biden is not going to be held accountable for possibly evading taxes. That comes after the IRS rejected a whistleblower complaint alleging the president owes at least $127,000 in back taxes, with others suggesting it’s as much as $500,000. The news comes per The New York Post, which saw a copy of the denial letter. President Biden is likely to avoid an audit that could reveal whether he made money from his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings — because the Internal Revenue Service has rejected a whistleblower complaint that alleged he owes

Parents and politicians alike are slamming President Biden for his failure to address the US' ongoing baby formula shortage - with one distressed dad saying 'never did I think I would have a problem finding food for my baby in America.' The backlash against Biden comes as the formula shortage has reached crisis levels in recent weeks, with at least 12 states facing 40 percent or higher out of stock rates. As shelves across the country meant to carry formula remain largely barren, parents such as Russell Bleck, a husband and father in Lexington, Kentucky, have become desperate to get their hands on the all important product.

An “inflammatory” children’s book being distributed to New York City schools teaches kids as young as 2 that the concept of race was created by white people who claimed they were “better, smarter, prettier, and that they deserve more than everybody else.” The book “Our Skin” was penned by Harlem activist Megan Madison and Brooklynite and library worker Jessica Ralli, and published last year. It begins with a simple discussion of skin tones — then launches into a screed that blames the idea of race on white people along with an illustration of scary-looking human skulls encased in glass and sitting on shelves.“A long time ago,

Consider the words of U.S. President Joe Biden, spoken during Eid al-Fitr with Muslims at the White House on May 2. He said: "[T]oday, around the world, we’re seeing so many Muslims being targeted with violence. No one, no one should discriminate against oppressed or be oppressed for their religious beliefs…. Muslims make our nation stronger every single day, even as they still face real challenges and threats in our society, including targeted violence and Islamophobia that exists.
