Why do you expect to be reward for being a good person? That’s just the baseline everyone should meet.
You will never get financially ahead of everyone else by being a good worker bee. Sorry your parents and teachers lied to you. Doing well in school and getting a degree is not a pathway to riches. The vast majority of people who went from rags to riches went off the beaten path and took a massive risk.
Also sex work doesn’t make someone a bad person.
Totally agree, although I would say "... the vast majority of people who went from rags to riches were self-obsessed assholes at at least one part of their life".
Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor's recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings. When I moved out of my small town a couple years ago, I learned that real life is a lot like online forums. You have to lurk before you can post. Learn the language, the local etiquette and taboos. Watch the people in your neighborhood, their interactions. Blend into the background, and observe. Talk little, hear and see much.
None of this shit makes you money.
Beautifully put.
Sex work puts someone one step closer to human trafficking.
I don't judge them for the sex work. I judge how they are at risk that costs more than just their own happiness.
