    MAGAs love to destroy industries that employ regular people. Florida had a program that offered financial incentives to the film industry for Florida productions, and the industry had spent billions in Florida, and employed over 100,000 people.

    Convicted Criminal Rick Scott became governor of Florida, and unilaterally cancelled the program, saying that he didn’t want to reward or encourage “Liberal Hollywood.”

    So, Georgia rolled out the RED State carpet, and today the industry annually spends billions there, instead. They weren’t too Red to invite and encourage job growth for their citizens.

    Thanks Florida Senator Rick Scott. BTW, nothing makes him angrier than threatening to prohibit insider trading for members of the Senate. He loves that perk sooo much.
