I moved to SC (somewhat unfortunately I suppose) a couple of years ago and I have been quite surprised at the many Stop Sex Trafficking bill boards and things I've seen around. It seems to be a fairly big issue in the state (or at least the upstate area). I lived up in PA most of my life and spent about 4 years in Southern CA and I don't really ever recall seeing sex trafficking billboards anywhere else that I've traveled or lived. So when I first saw that a bill was introduced about combating sex trafficking, I thought - man this must REALLY be a big problem here. And maybe there are some pieces of it that make sense. But they always seem to bury in and hide so much extra bullshit that it starts to make zero sense what they are trying to really achieve.
tl,dr: not surprised SC trying to pass stop sex trafficking law; not surprised bill contains extra bullshit tactics for raising more money to fund said law.
- makomk 10y agoThat's pretty much how "sex trafficking" works as a political issue - people see all the billboards and laws and articles and think that it must be a really big problem, so they support more billboards and laws and so on and infinitum. No evidence that it actually exists is required.
