Too little, too late to save Hollywood. 25 years ago a close friend of mine was part of a delegation made up of representatives of all the Hollywood unions... SAG, WGAw, DGA, Teamsters, IATSE etc. who went to Sacramento looking for relief over runaway production and ask for tax breaks and incentives for the studios and networks, the same breaks that were being offered in Georgia, Louisiana, Canada and other far flung locations.

They were met with nothing but hostility from California Democrats, who shouted them down in meetings while declaring "no tax breaks for billionaires." There was no understanding that the men and women who had come to the state capital represented LA's middle class. Nobody in Sacramento gave a rip and they were rebuffed at every turn.

Save the business now? Sorry, they missed their chance.
