18. Are not most of the major movie studios based in the US?
So yes, Americans should have those jobs. I don't want American film jobs exported any more than I do an American factory, IT, or any other American job.

I want to hear or read the reaction when you tell a Union member of a Hollywood film craft that they should not have a job because someone in another country "deserves" it more. You know.... American Union workers, the things Progressives are SUPPOSED to support?

Then, we constantly hear the MPAA complaining about piracy costing Americans jobs, but we don't hear a peep from them about all those American film industry jobs being lost because of overseas film production.

If Progressives want to know why they are not more highly valued in this country, it is because too many Progressives are too ready and willing to sacrifice their fellow Americans on the altar of some greater notion of international "justice" and "brotherhood".
