Buckwheat Sings posted:Um no? It's basically a race to whoever offers the lowest subsidies. Film companies won't stay if theres better subsidies elsewhere. Oklahoma's subsidy is 37%, afaik highest in the nation. Lots of smaller productions end up there (it's mos def Kevin Sorbo territory), but the problem is infrastructure and vendors. There's no stage space whatsoever, and trucks/equipment have to come from places like Texas and Georgia. As a result the higher budget projects don't bother. For example, American Gods wanted to shoot entirely in OK but just didn't have a stage to base out of.

Glad to be of help. your reaction to seeing Democrats spit in your face being a reflexive "thank you sir may I have another" is demonstrative, imo. then it turned out whoops, wasn't actually a Democrat spitting in your face, and you're stuck trying to claim the people making fun of you for it are the ones who are owned. seriously. the Democrats have made it clear to you that Roe Vs. Wade is not enough to make them try to fight for something. what is the point where you can bring yourself to acknowledge they might not be making the best decision at all times.

How is it "unfailing support" to vote for the person who will be measurably better. No one here gave Hillary Clinton their "unfailing support" when they voted for her in 2016. Why do you conflate "voting for" with "unwavering devotion to"?

I'm not the one who launched into a pulpit speech over a procedural vote, chump. Also again, that's what primaries are for. Edit: I'd rather vote for someone who makes things 1% better than stay home and contribute to letting someone 100% worse win. Accelerationism is privileged bullshit

I'd add one thing--a giant laser printer in the corner printing the emails and the Trump boys running frantically to and from the printer to the shredder with armloads of paper. It'd just be the most Trump thing imaginable. "This'll fix 'em, Eric! If we just shred these emails, no one will ever find out about the crimes!" "AND I'M ERIC!"

Also you all are really oddly obsessed with boots and the licking thereof. because politics in a democracy is a question of numbers, op. as an example, what was the number of Democratic votes for a Supreme Court Justice who would abolish Roe Vs. Wade. perhaps your instinctive reaction to your representatives telling you "we do not want to do the thing you want us to do" should not be "welp, guess they know best," if you seek to have your views represented.

So if Georgia can prosecute you for having an abortion outside state lines, does that include anyone? Like if I were a woman, had an abortion, and left New England to go to move down there? Prosecutable? If I'm a college student down there? If I'm passing through? Do they have some criteria for deciding who is a Georgian? Is it residence? It just gets worse the more you think about it.
