You're nitpicking. You know they meant "a lot relative to the qualifications and difficulty of the job"
If something is illegal and people still do it to make a living you can be pretty much assured it's better than all the legal menial labor options.
- klyrs 5y ago> You're nitpicking. You know they meant "a lot relative to the qualifications and difficulty of the job" No I'm not, and yes I know that, and I addressed it, but I'll spell it out some more. Just about everybody is qualified to collect garbage, too. Garbage collection is physically risky and also disgusting and stigmatized. Like sex work, pay should compensate for those factors. Just because some people also voluntarily pick garbage in parks doesn't mean that garbage collection should be free. The fact that sex work is illegal introduces additional risk to the workers, which, again, should increase its price. But, statistically, the highly paid sex workers are very uncommon. And that's not nitpicking; it's observing that OC is cherrypicking. And anybody who thinks "sex is fun" and that comparing sex work to garbage collection is unfair has probably never done sex work nor had a serious conversation with somebody who has.
- watwut 5y agoIt is not nitpick. Prostitutes earn less then pretty much anyone on this forum. It does not pay as much as people assume. And it has considerable risks, partially because they cant legally hire security.
