I feel like your completely glossing over the whole increased risk of rape and violence aspect that prostitution involves compared to wage labor.

I feel like you’re ignoring the reality that the prostitution industry avoids formal recognition by its very nature. Clients want to stay anonymous, pimps want to stay underground, and many prostitutes want to remain under the radar. Formal recognition is a necessary prerequisite for regulation and labor law.
Do you plan on this being a lifelong career for you? Why or why not?
This is such a lib take that it pains me to read it. The whole post is worth a read, btw.

Such a complete misunderstanding of the industry is the result of a flattening of distinctions between all work and a misunderstanding of Marxist theory. Wage labor is exploitative because of the surplus value extracted from the workers’ labor. Prostitution is sexual exploitation because it feeds off of extreme vulnerability to maintain a class of prostitutes, coerces sex through money and power, and exposes those women to high amounts of rape and violence. Not all work involves coercive sex, not all work comes with the high risk of rape and male violence in whatever legal context it operates under. Not all work puts the body and it’s component parts on the market to be bought, sold, and rented at will to the highest bidder.

China is anti-mask and anti-vaccine? Do you lick lead paint for fun? From the same source as the OP article, this is what anti-vaccine propaganda looks like:
What proof do you have that the Falun Gong aren’t also lying about these supposed crimes against humanity?
Krebase doesn’t exist at all, too.

Catch-2022:
The government paid him well for every coin of crypto he did not mine. The more crypto he did not mine, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn’t earn on new GPUs to increase the amount of crypto he did not mine. Major Major’s father worked without rest at not mining crypto.

101·3 years agoThe main issue that this doesn’t deal with is that it in no way stops a company from straight up closing any location that does try to unionize.
“Oh no, we must recognize your union… and in unrelated news, your location is now closed. Feel free to apply to the new location we’re opening up a block away.”
Feel like clawing your eyes out?
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle is a fun and cute show if you’re looking for something like that.
