Too bad that's the exception in LA and not the rule.

That doesn't make LA blue collar, let alone more blue collar than most.

You know, I just love it when you make it clear you've got nothing to say by talking ish. Thank you.

Thank you for showing that you have no idea what blue collar means.

People working on movies aren't blue collar.. at all. Blue collar means you grow up hard and get up very early to do a very difficult, very PHYSICAL job. I could point you in the direction of plenty of actually blue collar people within a few miles of where I live. People who get up and go to warehouses or people who are police officers or a whole host of other kinds.

Believe it or not, making a film requires lots of hard, physical labor.

You can be blue collar and then not be blue collar, it is silly to think you have to be born into it.

PS There are police in LA, and they don't commute from the East Coast.

No, sorry, don't think so. Nobody who knows anything about what blue collar is would ever say that making a film is blue collar.

No, you can't. If you come from a comfortable background and work a job you got because you screwed up in life, that doesn't make you blue collar. It makes you a failure.

Like I said... blue collar is the exception in LA, not the rule.

In your dreams maybe.

The Philly metro is a million times more blue collar than any part of California has been or ever will be. It was the workshop of the world at one point and still has quite a few blue collar professions, including our own very large port.

That is smaller and therefore has less blue collar workers than Los Angeles.

Please do keep posting and showing even more examples of why you have no clue what blue collar actually is about.

The Teamsters would disagree with you...

Unless you think the Teamsters are not "blue collar" enough...
