So the big Hollywood threat isn't playing out as planned. "Earlier this year, Alabama lawmakers passed what’s been called the most restrictive abortion ban in the country. The backlash was immediate. Ordinary people, political pundits and public figures were quick to condemn not just the law, but the state of Alabama as a whole. Celebrities targeted our small but growing film and television production industry, calling for a boycott of Alabama. WAAY 31 found out, like so many acting careers, the hysteria was a flash in the pan..... ... You have all this instantaneous response, and a lot of times, nobody’s taken the time to research the topic. They just read the headline, and then, they’re immediately commenting on it,” Hodge said. Social media and the big cable networks, which sometimes can’t even find Alabama on a map, were outraged. However, that didn’t last long. Maybe they realized that this law will be tied up in the courts for years, and, like it or not, abortion will remain the law of the land for now. The mob quickly pivoted to the next injustice du juor. “I haven’t had a single person call me up and say, ‘Tommy. We were considering you to do this work, but now that you’re in that red state, we’re done. We’re not going to do it.' I haven’t heard a single person do that,” he said.... ...Alabama has a lot going for it for movie makers. Costs are low here, plus they get money back at up to $20 million per year in incentives. This year, there was so much work, the state ran out of incentive money. https://www.waaytv.com/content/news...major-impact-from-abortion-ban-560803211.html
And Chic-fil-a's business has doubled since the supposed boycott from the LGBT community. Its hard to impact someones business when the majority of your group is poor, and the others are the most richest in the country. The middle class aren't "woke scolds" who demonize people for their private actions and will shop/eat where is best for them.
Hollywood should never have political power. Who cares what those living in make believe think about real life? In real life, there is no such thing as banning abortion.
You mean to say that some celebrities DON'T speak for or makes choices for an entire industry? Any surprise here can be attributed directly to believing those you oppose operate as a singular entity with a singular mind.
