Yes. That must be it. We get all our money from Hollywood.

• Nevermind the fact that the Silicon Valley is the technology capital of the world.

• Nevermind the fact that the Central Valley produces more fruit and vegetables than any other place on earth

• Nevermind the fact that California is the biotechnology capital of the US

• Nevermind the fact that several of the world's largest corporations call California home... (Google, Apple, Chevron, Sun Microsystems, Franklin Templeton, and Oracle world headquarters are all within 30 miles of my house)

It must be the movie business.
