what better way to shame the 0.1% to do what's right

"A national sex strike! Spain's 'high-class hookers refuse to sleep with bankers"

Take away all their play toys until they start to act like human beings and appreciate those who make their lives possible.

long before Spain's bankers run out "middle-class" hookers looking to make better money.

An amateur might give you a good fuck, mabey even a great fuck, but you'll soon see a diminishing return.
Sex ain't like other skills, you can't get the same skills out of the box that you would from an experienced professional.

Someone who's used to making $200 an hour may even be willing to do things that someone used to making $1000 an hour wouldn't (if you offer $1000 dollars). There may be a drop off somewhere (maybe in appearance), but not necessarily in skills.

In any case, if there is a demand, the supply will be met by someone before long, especially if there's good money to be made.

Of course I am not in a position to "take away their toys" in any such fashion but it won't work there and it sure as shit won't work here because the supply will out pace the demand at the available price point.

To be frank, I don't see how the 101st Hooker Brigade is going to go to the mat for the persecutors and turn on the people with money and connections IF it would work, which I find beyond doubtful.
