I’m kind of surprised that not a single state has yet.

Like the states that legalized weed have made a bonkers amount of tax money while the others continue to lose out to other states or the black market. And oh look, suddenly way less drug crime.

Legalize it, regulate it, then tax it. The Netherlands figured it out. Kind of surprised Nevada hasn’t taken their shot. A state could legalize it and watch their tourist and tax revenues skyrocket while likely lowering human trafficking to boot.

May I introduce Nevada? The only state with both casinos and brothels.

Lots of states have casinos, this country loves to gamble. My understanding though is the brothels are highly limited in Nevada. Like, they are severely limited to where they can operate. There’s not actually any in Las Vegas, for instance.

It’s hardly the model we should be copying.

I’m not against legalization of prostition or drugs, but the only thing The Netherlands figured out is that simply legalization doesn’t make the problems go away. Both drug crime and human trafficking are still a big issue.

i honestly didn’t know sex work was still illegal hopefully there’s some society resurgence in support of them.

i feel like as a society if a topic isn’t trending in news nothing happens to it.
