DOJ announces arrests in ‘high-end brothel network’ used by elected officials, military officers and others - Lemmy.World

I really don’t understand the way the US works in regards to „bought“ sex… on the one hand prostitution is illegal (with the exception of Las Vegas) and as soon as you point a camera on the paid fucking it is called PORN and it is still a multi billion dollar industry.

You guys are weird

It’s very bizarre. Kinda shocking the gov’t hasn’t figured out the massive amount of tax revenue behind the legalization of sex workers.

Works in other countries at least. Here in Germany they just pay income tax, like everyone else.

On the other hand, Germany is still a bit backwards regarding cannabis legalization… but we are working on it.

Illegal income is taxed, technically, but paying that tax would also basically be a confession. That’s how they got mobsters back in the day. So there ends up not being any when you’re right and there absolutely could be good tax revenue there

Hell, it’s not federally banned, so it’s just states not being willing.
