Gonna be corporate mercenaries guarding international shipping flights at backwoods county airports in the next few weeks. Just like what went on with PPE in Massachusetts but for parts for chinese telecoms.

Aren't US businesses banned from dealing with Huawei? I thought turmp did that a while back.

As a thought experiment, next time that you are at work in the office, take a look at the first five men who come to talk to you. Calculate to yourself how much you would need to be paid to be wholly sexually beholden to each of them for two hours. I really mean that, I mean really really think about that number. And think about whether that's what prostitutes are actually being paid, and if it's not, what is the cause for that gap

That's a good thought experiment. Really good.

The idea that laws regulating prostitution are implemented in order to protect prostitutes is absurd and the implementation of these laws does not seem to correlate with safer prostitution. You may argue that is because of the social stigma around sex and prostitution and whatever and that may well be the case.

I agree with the source's framing of sex work as a byproduct of larger social problems similar to how drug addiction is a byproduct of larger social forces. The part I quoted mentioned that people who are prostitutes should not be subject to any criminal or civil penalties and should be given avenues for meeting their needs outside of prostitution. If we are going to talk about shaping laws within capitalism to protect people, I think that is where the energy should be placed. I do not think we should focus on passing laws to allow Hilton and Marriott to open hotel chains where you gently caress the maid in a well regulated environment.

Like I said earlier, we are never going to get to a place where most parents will accept prostitute as a valid career choice for their kids to aspire to.

I don't really want to talk about this anymore either, I hear that. Just going to say me and Pick and all of the rest of us puritanical reactionaries are right about this.

The preferred nomenclature is "Sex worker".

I can't remember if there is ban on US business using their product. But that's very different from selling components to them, which I would be pretty surprised to hear is banned.


Like theoretically let's say uh... Volvo was in some political scandal and it was decided US companies could not import, use, or sell their vehicles. I doubt that whatever language went in the order would prohibit a leather producer from selling them seat covers.

Not to mention, why should they have any employees? They don't have to make things, so why are they anything but a bank routing number to receive money from the Fed and then give it to shareholders
