So what keeps rent.men from blowing up??

 

Exactly. I wonder that too...

 

Rentmen is not an American company---it's based in the Netherlands, the country that expelled the English Puritans from Holland because they beat their children, among other things. The Puritans came to America and their legacy is still with us today in the form of sexual prohibition, or at least inhibition, among other things.

If the Goverment was Smart they would Legalize and Tax the Industry. There will ALWAYS be Escorting(They dont call it the worlds oldest Profession for nothing). It's just a matter of the outlets available to advertise.

If the Government was Smart, they would legalize Marijuana and tax the hell out of it.

 

Government was/is/will always be humanity's attempt to regulate the behavior of others.

There is always someone who will make money out of any activity. If it's just a seller and a buyer, let them do it. If it can't be stopped and there are intermediaries who profit, why should the ones that profit not be the government (which means us). Governments in Australia have gone far too far in promoting slot machines for the taxes they take. The misery of addicts seems of no concern to them, but they could ban them (but won't) and the problem would go away. Taxing drugs seems a win-win as legitimising them aids sensible control, legal sex work would be a harder thing to tax, but the fact that it is legal would make it less problematic for workers to declare it to the tax authorities.

The government is made up of politicians and who the fuck ever said politicians were smart and that goes politicians of BOTH parties.

Best line I ever heard about politicians was in the movie, The Hunt for Red October, Ryan is sitting across the desk from the National Security Advisor who says,

"I'm a politician, Mr. Ryan, which means when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops."

That sums it up succinctly in my mind.

Legalizing puts the police back in charge of enforcement of industry regulations. Decriminalization gives workers protections allowed to any other profession.

Jeepers Batman, What Libertarian isn't an Anarchist?

 

Was Ayn Rand an anarchist? Hell no!

 

Libertarians: embrace elitism by birth or by natural selection (wild capitalism).

 

Anarchists: reject elitism of any kind by bosses, rulers, politicians, etc.

 

To an anarchist, being forced to work for employers, being subject to management power, is a form of oppression. All actions of a company (even going to war during the Spanish Republic) have to be taken by a vote of the group.

 

To a libertarian, being forced to work for employers, being commanded by bosses, is consistent with liberty because no one puts a gun to your head to take a job. A libertarian always has the right to live under a bridge if he wants to. Obviously most libertarians want to be the boss in the future and even when they poor the vote consistently as if they were already in power, if life doesn't work out well for them, they'll just blame the damn politicians and bureaucrats for their failure.

Hurant Statement: I believe that consensual sex work between adults should be decriminalized and destigmatized. But that hasn’t happened yet. My business was ultimately illegal, but it shouldn’t have been. We must fearlessly fight for the rights to allow consensual adults to choose what they do with their bodies.

Amen.
