Why are film folks Dem? Because they came to GA from CA? Because they are “artistic” folks who tend Dem? GA is basically CA-South imo. My NW GA district is the exception though.https://greene.house.gov/about/

Have enough movie people moved to GA to influence elections?

The fact that GA has 2 Dem Senators while our neighboring states don’t says it all. “If you build it, they will come” irrc comes from Kevin Costner’s movie “Field of Dreams” but it certainly explains what happened after “Deliverance” was filmed in GA. GA started offering all sorts of incentives to film here and now here we are.

Lived there sometime back in the 40s. I was too young to remember much of it,except that it seemed a very nice place to live. We lived in Santa Monica at that time.. Now, I never want to go back to it as I was last there to visit in 1986. People like the current governor & many others have ruined what was probably at one time the the premier state in the nation. Now it seems like most of the bad ideas,many that become law for the rest of us, have originated in California.
Why has it become the land of poor decisions?

“Planners also concede there will likely not be much high speed rider demand from San Joaquin Valley residents willing to pay $86 to travel at a supposed 200 mph from Bakersfield to Merced.”

In contrast to that taxpayer looting scheme, Brightline West is building high speed rail from SoCal to Las Vegas and the demand should be huge. They are promising a 2 hr 10 min trip to Vegas from Apple Valley.

Brightline already runs a successful passenger train operation in Florida so this isn’t a pipe dream or an investment scam.

The California terminus is Rancho Cucamonga where Brightline service will connect with the L.A. Metrolink.
