> forcing capital to just move software companies into places that are better for business.

Surely this would have been the case for movie studios, given that every actor they do business with is a member of SAG-AFTRA. Movie stars can command multi-million dollar contracts with studios with the help of SAG-AFTRA, and the same union protects everyone down to the background actors. Yet studios remain in the US despite your fear that they'd leave.




Engineers are a lot more fungible than movie stars.


And so are background actors and actors you've only ever seen on infomercials, yet they're represented by the same SAG-AFTRA as movie stars.


Yes, and? The reason the movie industry isn't moving is the stars, the other arrangements doesn't matter.
