Op-Ed: Chinese Virus Increases Vulnerability for Prostitution

Prostitution is not a victimless crime. Even where it is legal, there are victims

February 24, 2020 Op-Ed

Our laws are ostensibly written for people. However, in the last half-century, an administrative state has been creeping into the realm of lawmaking, by making rules that equate to laws. The rules are not enacted by our elected lawmakers, but by designated, so-called experts.

Maybe UNH Could Spend Some Tax Dollars to Solve this ‘Problem’

September 26, 2018May 2, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Some days posts just fall into each other like drunken wedding guests doing the chicken dance. Today, those ‘guests’ are prostitutes, possibly having attended a conference on the sex industry at UNH, though they also may have been driven into the sex trade by Global Warming. Wait for it…

A gaggle of Congressional Democrats, led by Representative Barbra Lee, has submitted HCR 36, a House Continuing Resolution that asks the House to recognize that Global Warming has a disproportionate (negative) impact on women who could be forced to turn to “transactional sex” to survive.

So much for bringing home the bacon and frying it up in the pan. Global Warming just wrecked that.

That’s right. Non-existent global warming could be responsible for an increase in prostitution. (I bet even UNH didn’t see that coming.)
