A San Francisco porn company has been hit with a fine of nearly $80,000 for maintaining dangerous workplace conditions, among them allowing performers to have sex on camera without using condoms...

That or else the state gov't is starting to care about working conditions. Considering that CA was once a major organizing area for unions, either is possible.

I've read that Vegas is the new porn spot, there are no condom rules, and they are very friendly to all aspects of the sex industry.

California is unfriendly to all businesses. They keep doing things to chase the businesses out of town.

Didn't this become an issue because one performer faked his test results? If so, not sure there's any justification to attack other companies, if they being thorough about making sure testing is honest.

Maybe the federal government needs to set up a special organization to run an entire state when those states become bankrupt and are unable to manage themselves. It would be like the FDIC shutting down a bank and firing all the bank employees and putting people in charge who know how to run things.

It's an issue relating to California driving all business out of their state. There could be workplace hazards in the porn industry but officials in California are just driving business away. Nevada and other states aren't complaining though.

"Except agriculture. Y'all are still behind us."

With water levels (in other states cuz California didn't bother to put in any dams for storage) they are at, I wouldn't hold on to that...

All you have to do is say no to lawn watering and there's no water issue. I grew up in an ag business family. Lawns in So Cal have always been stupid. A bigger problem with Cal agriculture is bees. We need to do more with native Madon Bees as oppose to European Bees.

This is stupid IMHO. HIV in porn is far lower than the general population. And considering how many are IV drug users, this is an amazing stat. You stand a better chance of dying in a car crash driving to or from a shoot than getting HIV. The few times someone tests positive it's national news and the industry shuts down until everyone is tested. This seems pretty safe to me. (Herpes is another matter however!)

It's a tough case to prove it's unsafe for porn actors/actresses having unprotected sex considering how the industry is run.
