Film crews are truly the scum of the earth.They only pay a couple hundred dollars for a filming permit (at least in NYC) and then proceed to attempt to monopolize entire blocks as if they're doing some "official" important business, attempting to block people from passing, as if anyone at all cares what shitty movie they're filming. They leave trash everywhere, not just accidentally, but they literally just throw empty water bottles and such on the street and leave piles of food on the street for rats.

Like all things, some crews probably mostly suck and others don’t. Most film employees are blue collar workers making not that much per hour and doing 16 hour days to pay the bills / get medical care for their families.

So are most telemarketers (maybe not the "blue collar" part I guess). Doesn't make them not scum.

Many police are also not getting paid that much and working long hours, so I guess whatever impact they have on their community is just fine as well.
