: I don't give two shits about J-Lo, but I object to the spurious economic argument surrounding so-called "runaway production" and it being "better for our workers" that the film is being shot in Philly. If it's cheaper to produce a movie in Canada then from a global economic perspective IT SHOULD BE SHOT THERE. FUCK THE WORKERS. The unemployment rate here in the U.S is really low. The workers are more than fine - too fine, in fact if were going to get into macroeconomic theory - and it's policies like SAG's runaway statutes that FUCK UP our economy and the world's. It's basic economics, god damn it. The motto of the new millenium should be "FUCK THE WORKERS!". Do you honestly think that if movie production went North that grips would just sit around losing money forever and all economic hell would break loose?!?! HUNDREDS OF FUCKING YEARS OF ECONOMIC THEORY tell us that won't fucking happen in the long run. They'll move the fuck on to industries in which WE are most efficient. It's better for us and the world if movies are made in Canada, so LET THEM FUCKING GO THERE! We'll be better off! Fuck Valerie Harper and her emotional pleas for the workers. Like she fucking cares about anything but the SAG presidency. - bitch. Time to think about our economy with our brains and keep our fucking emotions out of it. Kev, buddy, I love ya, but you dropped the economic ball on this one.
