This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is a good opportunity to ask why sex work is still illegal (unless you're rich ofc) in the US.
We could basically end the incel phenomenon and deal a huge blow to the sex slavery trade overnight (and for very little cost to taxpayers or society) by making sex work legal and bringing it into daylight.
Sex work is illegal because giving people the ability to use something they own (their body) as their own means of production removes a barrier to success, causing some of the power to slip away from the owning class. If I can charge $200 an hour for hole rental services I don't have to work a corporate job, which means my labor can't be exploited. This is (for the owning class) of course a bad thing.
(1) That logic doesn't stop people from working independently at one of many different other trades, and (2) sex work if legalized would gravitate towards a corporate vs. independent breakdown of jobs just like other trades. It's not like porn stars aren't making money for the "owning class."
Don't have anything to add as I agree, just wanted to say your username gave me a chuckle!
...Unless I'm actually an idiot and it wasn't a geology pun lol :P
It is a pun thank you I worked really hard on that username 🥹
Sex work is legal! Maybe not in your puritanical shithole, but in sane countries it is.
Really? You are willing to shag anybody for merely $200? Or, more probably, 4 people for 50$ each?
Don't oversimplify this whole problem. It is, like almost all problems, not a black and white problem.
It's literally impossible for people to figure out price points for goods and services. This is famously why free markets have never existed.
My friend i'll shag people for free.
