The FSC is fond of claiming that we are the most tested workforce in the world. (That’s probably not true BTW) Most would claim that we are also the most diseased workforce in the world (probably true) The Valley Industry and Commerce Association claims that other cities would offer “incentives” for the industry to relocate there.
Jeffery Douglas recently said “The number of infections is extaordinarily low.”
I challenge the FSC to answer these questions that every performer has the right to know!! What are the numbers?
1. How many people actually get tested every month in the APHSS system??
2 On average, how many performers test positive for an std in every 28 day cycle?
3. Does APHSS or anyone have any statistics about herpes, hpv,Hep B or Hep C?
4. On what do you base the numbers of 10,000 jobs, and one billion dollars to the local economy, what is your source for this information?
5. Who are these cities that are hungry for the adult industry to move operations to their city?
6. How does Wells Fargo, Chase, Pratt & Whitney, NBC Universal, Southwest Airlines, Vons, Microsoft, Home Depot, Bank of America, Walmart and Providence Health and Services (All VICA’s big supporters) feel about VICA’s involvement in the inudtry….and speaking of that I didn’t see a single porn company on VICA’s list of sponsors….hmmmm. Must have been a last minute join by Manwin maybe? Reckon how much that cost them?
If you can’t see scam written all over this you are dumber than a day old tadpole
I question the 10K employees as well. Here is some math. I will assume the large companies (Wicked, Vivid, Digital Playground, Reality Kings, etc.) are 75 per cent of Kink’s size for the large porn companies (Kink is in SF but that is the only company where I have approximate employment figures for). In LA there are approximately ten companies that are considered large (excluding Manwin). that is 750 employees. Manwin (excluding DP and RK, they are run separately) has multiple sites (similar to Kink) I will assume they have 100 employees. I will guess there are approximately 25 mom and pop type producers in LA at ten employees each that is 250 employees. We are at approximately 1100 employees according to my rough estimate. Add talent (which is usually considered an independent contractor) and we are up to 1350 or so. The FSC may employ 10, I will assume that PAW is similar in size so we can add 20 to that, bringing us to 1370. CET may employ 15 or so people, we are now at 1385. Porn has approximately ten publicists, we are now at 1395. There are a small number of independent camera crew that are independent contractors, let’s estimate 50. We are at 1445. Let’s give porn the benefit of the doubt (since my figures are only educated estimates) and add 25 per cent to my figures.
That places a high estimate of employment in adult to 1806. Remember that this is just in LA County. That is a far cry from 10K IMO!
Now let’s estimate that the average salary in adult is $60K annually (John Stagliano’s and Fabian Thylmann’s large salaries increase the average substantially). 1806 multiplied by $60K is $648,630,000. Let’s assume 80 per cent of employees live in LA County. That is an LA salary of $518,904,000. I would figure that half of that goes to mortgage companies, PG&E, IRS, Sacramento, etc. located outside of LA County. We are down to $259,500,000 actually spent in LA County.
Porn is worth approximately $260 million (high-end estimate) to LA County’s economy. That is a lot of money but not one billion dollars!
I also know that their 10K employees is a bunch of crock because 10K people would make much more than $1 billion a year even deducting for the 50 per cent of salary that would go to entities outside of LA County (I come up with approximately $3 billion spent in LA County if that figure were true out of $6 billion total).
Fsc and Manwin sure have a appetite for Republicain help these days? Do they know that Conservatives hate the porn Industry? and VICA and James Lee are republicains that are going to Fuck them up , on there own stupidity.
