What an oddly editorialized version of this headline which does not appear to reflect the conclusion made by the article OR the actual headline of the linked article:
actual headline:
> Is Marvel leaving Georgia? Production shifts to UK spark industry shakeup
piece talking about reasons:
> shifting to the United Kingdom, where lower production costs, especially on wages and employee benefits, are giving studios more bang for their buck, according to the Daily Mail.
looks like differences in wages AND benefits. Lower overall salaries in the UK combined with public healthcare costs via the NHS is a much more nuanced take than "leaving to avoid paying health insurance."
I suppose the conclusion though is the same - that a public option would have prevented this flight of capital. Not necessarily dropping of mandates that employers cover health insurance to remain competitive (which I'm sure some will conclude).

> Another film filmed in Georgia, USA; with Martin Sheen: "Vigilantes, Inc." (2025) https://youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE
Apparently GA was 160 for 500 on invalidating voters in the 2024 election; the state tried to eliminate the votes of some 340,000 registered voters who veritably lived at the address they registered with the state.
The producers of the film asked the same people that verify identities for Amazon and Walmart to review their list of voter invalidations.
(All this after sleazy Slump Chump (ad hominem, name calling) pushed the governor of said state for votes in 2020.)
TIL slavery was actually already illegal in Georgia before the American Revolutionary war (in the late 1700s).
