Not a ton of movie making happens in CA due to 1) high cost/ difficulty of doing business and 2) every other location of interest offers massive subsidies.

The state seems to have a reasonable argument here, as these people are behaving a lot more like employees than independent businesses. With being a union and all, is there a claim that the state is missing out on unemployment or other contributions that members of this industry routinely draw on? Seems like a weird carveout that wouldn't fly for almost any other industry, just funny to see them surprised by the change.

What are the local races focusing on in your neck of the woods?

Most of ours are democrats focusing on abortion and climate.

Abortion and climate.

Abortion and climate.

Abortion and climate.

Abortion and climate.

And on the R side it’s about police staffing, crime, safety …

Really not much about the economy from either side.

D’s are featuring a fair amount of Orange Man Bad content.

People are just so stupid.

The deep blue WA legislature and governor passed several things over the last few years that were very unpopular. Things like police pursuits and gas taxes. There were signatures gathered on 6 different initiatives seeking to overturn these things. Due to immense public pressure, three of them (as I recall) were overturned by the legislature in early 2024. The others will be on the November ballot where the public vote will almost certainly overturn them and go 6-for-6.

So who do the people of WA support in the primary election? All the same blue clowns who passed the shit they don’t want in the first place.

What the fuck.

Considering that there are other residents of that city paying taxes for roads, sewage, and fire departments ... I certainly hope that she does not.

Our crazy Republican Gubernatorial (I got that word right on the first try!) Candidate was just found on Ashley Madison. Some want him to drop out. No way he does, his ego is WAAAAAY to big. He's gonna fight to the bitter end and hopefully take down every GOP candidate in the State with him!

He was also on some porn forums. Which of RMs posters will have their history unearthed while running for higher office?

I’ve known for decades that I can’t run because of the dirt digging that would go on. I’m out.

LOL fucking Mark Robinson. Is against transgender people but the messages on his profile of the site “nude Africa” said he likes transgender porn. And he’s a black nazi that wants slavery reinstated. This guy has been a nutjob from day one but yet here we are with him as a main party candidate for Governor

Apparently there is a deadline for dropping out of the race, and that was last night at midnight. So Republicans are stuck with him.

Robinson is a piece of work. He tries to out-Trump Trump.

How’d he become lieutenant governor with a democrat governor? Did he flip parties after elected?
