Don’t hold your breath waiting for studios to pull productions out of states with conservative abortion laws , especially after Disney’s political misadventure in Florida over the state’s Parental Rights in Education legislation.

A group of Florida taxpayers filed a lawsuit against the state over its planned dissolution of the district,. The plaintiffs on Monday filed their suit in state court. Netflix has been discussing these culture issues internally for 18 months, a company spokesman said. During that time, Netflix solicited feedback from employees and received more than 1,000 comments about the document, which is aimed at prospective employees as much as it is meant for current staffers. In other words, know before you go.
