Speaking of which (I know you jest), the entertainment industry loves to criticize the outsourcing of jobs to India and places outside the US, yet more and more filming is being done in Canada and other spots outside of Hollywood. Business is fleeing California rapidly, for places with lower taxes to pay, lower overhead (i.e. less unionization of workers). Cognitive dissonance.

Yup. The entertainment industry is capitalist. It is fleeing California because it is getting taxed to death like every other industry here.

You would think that “creative” people would know that capitalism works quite well for creative pursuits.
