....good job...

good careers for whom prostitution is a fun hobby. I've been told that trafficking is just a tiny sliver of the prostitution industry. I've been told that all those studies that show that legalization increases trafficking are just wrong, and arrests of traffickers infringe on the rights of all those people who choose prostitution because they found law school boring.

All those poor johns and all the poor women and children who freely choose prostitution! All of their rights are being infringed! Oh, the humanity!

Human trafficking, whether it's labor trafficking, as this article suggests, or sex trafficking, is modern day slavery and nothing to dismiss with a snark no matter your intended target.

I get the frustration. But these are very clearly two different things.

I couldn't tell by your post if it was ignorance vs. beligerance or maybe both. Thought I'd try to help out.

Whaddaya say?

I wonder if those Chinese patents in massage parlors and escort services that she has are some of these poor women?

I was thinking, a small number.

How long does it take law enforcement to "investigate" these places? How many local residents need to file complaints before something is finally done?

They are often told if they do, they or their families will be in danger.

The best thing to do is for you to report a business you suspect of trafficking to organizations like UMOS, who will investigate in ways that protect the victims, then help them after the government shuts the business down.

It was the people who live in that area who filed the complaints. Every town has zoning ordinances and nobody wants that type of business around where their kids are going to see it. The town police knew what was going on there, they just pretended it wasn't happening. Or maybe they took bribes to look the other way.

This does seem to be the gop's side hustle.

of brainwashed magats.

I wonder how much trump made off those women.
