    The only problem that I have with legalizing prostitution is that it requires the government enact sane protections and oversight for them. I do not trust the US government to ever do anything for real people, so I believe it would just lead to different abuses.

      Very well you don’t trust the government. Can you detail to me how you use this in real life? For example do you conduct your own water testing and inspect the watersheds around waste water treatment plants? Do you take your electronics and subject them to FCC type testing for safety and non-interference? Do you perform your own bacteria culture tests on all food prior to eating?

      The government is far from perfect but it can in general regulate industry when the legislative branch allows it too.

      Ok, I’m curious. What kind of abuse are you imagining that could possibly be worse than the status quo?

      To cut back on the hyperbole that you’re receiving for your comment: Even badly managed oversight would be better than none at all.

      Amazon warehouse workers are being exploited brutally in a system that needs fixing, but there’s much less trafficking and violent coercion involved.
