Biden endorsed the moving of the All-Star game. Is that an overall endorsement of a boycott? What difference is there between a private organization and the government of Georgia? Does the free speech protection extend to governments in that way? These are questions we have to take into consideration before truly making the comparison, there. I don't see it as a good comparison to a president calling for a boycott of a business or other private organization, which we have seen several times in recent years.
No, it's not the same as calling for a straight boycott. But neither is it GM's perception that Biden didn't endorse a moving of the game. He absolutely did that. He's essentially doing the same thing as Trump, but in a much more subtle fashion. It's like when Christopher gave Patsi the nod to steal the fiber optic cable from the Esplanade construction site.
Quote:Now, what will be interesting is how this all will affect the film industry in Georgia. There is a ton of stuff filmed in Georgia, and we all know Hollywood will be looking at all of this askance.
I think that's easily predictable. The film industry has woke coming out of their own ass, to their significant financial detriment.
