It's your precious science too, Drich. Or have you gone full 18th Century in your living arrangements?
And if you don't blame the lawmakers, then who do you blame? The corporations? They are legitimate stakeholders in our society and government, just like individual citizens, and are free to move their operations where they wish. If that results in a loss of revenue for a state or locale, from the point of view of the corporation trying to effect some change, tough shit. Yes, the 'will of the people' was circumvented in this case . . . by the elected representatives who rolled over rather than dig in their heels to defend their 'principles'. Telling the film industry to fuck off was always an option. They didn't do that. Not the film industry's fault. That's on the elected representatives of the people.
