Since when is an international airport the purview of someone's flaky-ass city council?

Is Netflix really so eager to lose half of their paying customers? Any business taking sides on politics is stupid and shows very poor judgment.

As I recall it was Netfix's decision to wade into the vile cesspool of America's political affairs.

Netflix would like to economically batter and bruise the good people of Georgia because they have a political disagreement with them, but two can play that game.

Well, seeing as how the airport is owned by the City of San Antonio, the City Council might have some say in what goes on there.

Granted...there is ne'er the brain surgeon nor rocket scientist to be found on the San Antonio City Council. Most of them, in fact, are city councilmen primarily because nobody else will hire them, on account of their severe mental deficits.

But...as stupid as the lot of them collectively are, they still get to call the shots at the San Antonio International Airport.

As stupid as any such decisions may be. And, boy...was the Chick-fil-A decision ever stupid.

How would campaign finance relate to a decision not to do business in a particular state. They are not contributing to anyone's campaign, just deciding not to do business in Georgia due to the laws Georgia is passing.

It is free choice if a business does not want to make movies in a particular state. Their reasons don't have to be to your liking.

Bye! I stopped by subscription when they hooked up with Hussein Obama. They can go support murdering babies in another state.

Netflix will gain supporters too--those of us who care about a woman's choice. I applaud them for having the guts to stand up for what they believe in.

Netflix isn't going anywhere. But, if they do, its their choice. I'll vote with my wallet, too, if it comes down to it. Most companies have been wise to stay out of the abortion debate.
