That is precisely what they are doing and if they don’t get their pants sued off, they’re still going to go bankrupt after Visa and company cut them loose.

What a sad company. Sounds like they're trying to artificially get their numbers up for the upcoming earnings call as well as reduce the average number of movies watched per subscriber. They've been in dire straits for a while now, diluting their stock to an absurd degree to raise money.

As far as I know its about Instagram users being bought by rich men, and how it can be "empowering", which is a very American view on what boils down to reproducing exploitation, power inequities and toxic social attitudes. Even if individuals get ahead in particular transactions, they just reinforce the norms that keep millions oppressed, from both the gender and class point of view. They just make the oppression seem aspirational.

This.

in a truly socialist society there would be no need for anyone to prostitute themselves to make a living and only people who legitimately enjoy it would do it, making the entire point moot, sure

but in the meantime we have a system that only benefits sex traffickers and rich old men who can afford high end services

Good brains educated in economic justice: Money corrupts the natural relationship between peoples, and is used by the unjust in order to swindle the common man.

Also good brains educated in economic justice: Because it is impossible to completely solve the problem of prostitution we should instead enshrine the exchange of money for sexual favors as a natural right. I've also noticed that single mothers have been having a hard time of it lately, so I've cooked up a little bit of a modest proposal that'll help them cash in on some of the resources they've been investing in those kids of theirs.

prostitution should be heavily regulated with very high standards for working conditions, and be single-payer. in exchange it would be illegal for prostitutes to discriminate based on race, nationality, age, financial status, social status, height, and posting ability.

e: and penis size.

nationalize the prostitutes and redistribute them equitably

but seriously, providing a ubi would be the best way to reduce the need some women feel to sell their body

The analogy would be 'higher labor law standards' vs 'ban manufacturing altogether'

With the follow-on argument of, "workers must be protected exploitation by manufacturers," followed by, "what if they want to work in manufacturing," followed by, "you just want gross old men to be able to tell young, fit workers that they have to give up the cartilage between their lumbar vertebrae in exchange for food and shelter," follo--

Agreed. The issue is Demand Inelasticity for income superseding health.

edit 2: Look at coal workers happily knocking decades off their lives for $80,000/year right out of high school and poo poo.

MoviePass is scummy enough that I'd watch out (I am!), but if you actively cancelled your account you should personally be ok - my understanding is that it's not quite as bad as charging everyone who gave them credit-card information at any point, and instead the people they're forcibly enrolling in a plan are those who never cancelled but also didn't choose to migrate to one of the terrible new plan options they implemented and just let things lapse as their old plan was discontinued

Pretty sure the women outnumber the men both in our slack and at our meetings for my branch of DSA. Part of it is probably because of our chapter having the racial justice and LGBTQ+ groups as it's core.
