Yes, this is a regular tactic of his.
Yes we all agree, this is obvious to the point of being banal.
But are you going to psycho-analyse and drug-test and investigate the life circumstances of every prostitute,
on every corner and at every brothel? No.
The most honest, most direct, least expensive, and least biased/arbitrary approach is to simply shut down these operations,
or heavily regulate and restrict them, and help the women find a decent job, home, therapy, etc.
You are trying to compare prostitutes to HEROIC dangerous jobs that save people's lives?
And all of the above are trained to defend themselves legally, and nurses have guards that do NOT abuse them like pimps.
And violence against them is punished, is NOT normalised and widely under-reported like abuse in the sex industry.
How often is that? And surely they stay rich and do not blow all of their money on drugs and personal debts?
Many people are against gambling, too.
Like prostitution, gambling:
-contributes nothing to society
-promotes and feeds addiction
-feeds organised crime
-normalises corruption and crime (and casual violence against women in the case of prostitution, from the john or the pimp)
-attracts an unsavoury demographic element
And don't give me me examples of Las Vegas or rare rich prostitutes (who do not blow all of their money on drugs).
This is the broken window fallacy of economics.
"Breaking windows is AKSHUALLY good for the economy because it makes the glass-maker rich."
The truth is that prostitution, gambling and drugs do not create or add value,
they only take money away from the productive economy/society that would have been spent elsewhere.
A wise government incentivises its people to spend their money in more wholesome, beneficial ways.
You have contributed zero objectivity or data to this discussion,
only lame memes, cliches, excuses, petty personal attacks, and moral relativism as incoherent as rambling sentences,
and banalities that everyone agrees with.
So spare us the lecture, please.
