Once again, Sen. Joe McCarthy was right.
Just sign it, and move on.
Going to be interesting to see where Deal comes down on this. The movie filming explosion in Georgia has been a tremendous boon for the economy. Several studios already have plans to build post production studios in Georgia as well. Georgia would lose millions in revenue and thousands of jobs as a result. It’s going to be very interesting...
F-U, Netflix
Why is Georgia all by itself?
Never had NETFLIX, and never will.
“Amblin Partners is committed to diversity and inclusion for all,”
What do people expect? President Obama is one of those
bunghole burglars that allowed himself to be sodomized by another man.
That’s whats running the country.
People want to dog Trump for paying off these types of
people to be able to do business in the Fascist Capital NYC.
Now look how low businesses have to stoop just to do business
and curry favor with the government. No telling how many
republicans had to “Perform” to get on the ballot. Which
might explain their spinelessness.
I know Deal and he will veto.
It may be that Netflix has too many customers. Perhaps they need to have their customer based “rightsized”.
Note they don’t post the text of the bill or even a link to it to let their readers read it themselves and make a judgement about it...
Nope they just say how bad it is...

Call their bluff. “We will not have the values of the State of Georgia dictated to us by a motley collection of West Coast liberals. We put principle above profit.”
I was fully planning to re-up Netflix when i got a place to live.
Now I won’t.
To every one even HINTING: Do it. Cash that check. Skin that smoke wagon (love that quote/movie). Put your $$ where you ideology begins.
Actions have consequences; and I’ll MY $$ talk for me.
Though they’ve come out w/ some good shows, it’s not like unsubscribing would cause me to miss *ANY* said show I desire (ain’t the internet grand?)....if I wanted.
The Gov should sign the legislation and begin to run ads in Georgia informing the population about which out-of-state companies are refusing to buy from Georgia companies or do business in the state. Citizens should be informed of alternate and friendly companies to use as substitutes and be invited to reciprocate in the boycott.
Good. You will not be missed.
Tell them bye.
The tables need to be turned bigtime on these pervert enablers.
A law is needed that prohibits persons and companies from retaliating and discriminating against any entity based on anti-religious or anti-privacy actions and concerns.
Amblin, Netflix and other pervert enablers can go where they want but announcing an anti-religious or anti-privacy basis for moving should be met with stiff fines for the damage they do to persons and communities.
The discrimination nonsense used as a basis for frivolous lawsuits either needs to stop or needs to be extended to cover actions on the part of pro-pervert persons and companies against religious adherents or privacy advocates.
Two can play their game.
Liberals have made being an ally to homosexual and transgenered persons a proxy for being in favor or being against sexual morality, a libertine lifestyle and liberal ideology.
If that happens...I cancel.
