    I suppose one could make the argument that adults should have the right to gamble responsibly, but like you can also think regulations against problem gambling are good.

    That's largely where I'm at, I was just surprised by how hardline people are regarding it on here.

    On the article there are some people like you mention ("Jenny, a sex worker who also runs a nude housework business in Seattle") but also the first person they mention is someone who turned to sex work after getting kicked out of their parent's house at 18. And later there's this:

    Pike Long, the deputy director of St. James Infirmary, a health and safety clinic for sex workers in the city, told me the clinic estimates the number of sex workers now doing street work in San Francisco alone has tripled since Craigslist’s personals section and BackPage went offline.

    I"m not super educated on sex work but I"m assuming street work is going to be much more dangerous than the web stuff
