Germany was doing pretty bad economically after the first world war and especially after the great depression. Lots of people had no jobs and couldn’t afford anything.

Wages of the average worker aren’t keeping track with inflation right now, so that’s what would have to be changed to have any chance at stopping this.

Russia also needs to stop trying to destabilise the western world.

We will never live in an ideal world, we can only approach it.

So, yeah, I wasnt referring to reality.

I think it is because having sex is such an inimate thing and as a sex worker you have to do it even with people you are not intimate with and at times when you dont want to be intimate. The sheer number of sex partners probably also doesnt help.

And then there are the assholes who will straight up step over boundaries and directly create trauma.

I live in Germany where sex work legal btw (and I think it should be kept that way).

Comparing the risks to other work is hard, as the risks vary from person to person and from workplace to workplace in each job.

But I would consider doing sex work if I would have to work in a callcenter otherwise lol

In an ideal world people who just want casual sex would find each other. And people who want love as well. In an ideal world everyone would also have someone they are an ideal match to.

The only way I see people getting paid to have sex in an ideal world is if they get paid because their sex is so good, like top athletes.

Sex work wouldnt exist in an ideal world, as its usually not mentally healthy for the sex worker in the long term.

But since we dont live in an ideal world I would rather legalise it and create laws that protect sex workers instead of criminalising them.

Its the same with all drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol).

Looking back on it, I dont even know how I was able to misread your comment lol.

I would say it has nothing to do with environmental regulations, but with lower taxes for the super rich and other stuff like that, which came from increasing influence of rich people in politics.

That lead to increasing poverty, which (combined with lots of propaganda from media owned by rich people) leads to increasingly radical conservative voters, which only lead to more poverty.

His health could have gotten worse, or he finally decided that it just wasnt gonna work out and he should rather quit while winning (and also increasing his parties chance of winning).

Him being dead is just absurd, that would have been reported on instantly.
