And this is happening while our cities are being ravaged by a major drug epidemic.
This will most likely breed more sex workers which no one needs at a time when most stores have help wanted signs.
Skilled prostitution goes much, much higher than that.
Even on the low end of the pay grade, the benefits of being self employed and able to do drugs on the job outweighs the requirement to show up to work on time and sober at Safeway.
Feels very college to me. Classic case of book smarts replacing street smarts. Naive Utopian vibes. There are very bad people in the world unfortunately. Sounds like lots of these commenters don’t know it yet.
It's basically saying "prostitution is bad and illegal but if you are offering it we won't punish you (wink)". Frankly it seems to me the worst of both worlds. The customer is automatically in a condemned state and can't redeem themselves. Kind of like how sanctions against Russia levied with no clear terms for removing them won't make them stop since you have basically made them your enemy with no honorable agreement possible.
