Oh I'd bet Safeway pays much better than prostitution.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoUnskilled prostitution generally pays about four times the going rate for unskilled labor, as far as I've read. This was a cross-cultural finding. Skilled prostitution goes much, much higher than that.
- zthrowaway 4y agoMost of the money generated here is going to a pimp. These women are being abused and exploited for their body. You support more of that?
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoI didn’t read any support in parent’s comment, just earning estimations.
- yonaguska 4y agoUnless you're being sarcastic, you are very wrong. Even on the low end of the pay grade, the benefits of being self employed and able to do drugs on the job outweighs the requirement to show up to work on time and sober at Safeway.
- zthrowaway 4y agoI’m amazed how everyone here are acting as if these prostitutes are entrepreneurs of some kind. They are being manhandled by a pimp and forced to do this shit. Most of them are runaways and are being exploited for their body, and end up overdosing on drugs eventually. Holy fuck people here are so out of touch and have no street knowledge.
- yonaguska 4y agoI don't mean to imply that they aren't being exploited, I've seen it firsthand. But the parent comment making the comparison to being employed at a convenience store is not a fair at all. My point is that many of these women are strung out on drugs, and they've reached a point where even if legal employment was an option, they wouldn't take it because it wouldn't afford them to ability to continue doing drugs.
- Flatcircle 4y agoI couldn’t agree more . It’s amazing to see all these insane comments and downvotes on common sense. Feels very college to me. Classic case of book smarts replacing street smarts. Naive Utopian vibes. There are very bad people in the world unfortunately. Sounds like lots of these commenters don’t know it yet.
