It looks like traders are already snatching up some of the discounts this little selloff has created. If investors want to bully the Fed into cutting rates, they’re going to need more discipline than that.

Was the cop under age?

WTF is the issue here? I thought we don't dunk on aex work folks?

MadhuGururajan ,

We dunk on hypocrisy

Stovetop ,

To just take a broad look at the situation, sex work is still illegal in almost all of the US, which applies to both those who are sex workers and those who pay for sex workers, and most police departments actively enforce those laws. I wouldn’t say I necessarily agree with the laws, but that is what they do.

So cops can and do bust prostitution rings to get sex workers off the street, but a lot of departments also have officers pose undercover as sex workers to bust the people paying for sex in the first place. So they’ll put up, like, fake Craigslist ads selling sex and arrest people who show up, or they may even have an officer undercover at a bar or street corner pretending to be a prostitute to arrest anyone who tries to give them money. This is probably one of those situations.

Can definitely be argued as entrapment, probably going to lose in court anyways, but that’s basically how they go about it.

athairmor ,

That’s not entrapment.

For it to be entrapment they have to be coerced into doing something illegal that they wouldn’t have done otherwise.

Nastybutler ,

I really don’t understand why sex workers sell sex in places it’s illegal, rather than selling condoms at the same price then let their customers try it out for free

Hypocrisy is fair game.

If we’re going to keep sex work illegal, I’d much rather they arrest the people paying for it than the workers.

Nastybutler ,

I’d rather they arrest the pimps and sex traffickers who exploit women and force them into it, but that’s just me

bane_killgrind ,

Tbf that puts the johns in a position where they need to cover up their crime.

Decriminalization, ubiquitous health services and a reporting system for safety are needed.

OSHA or permanent disability should be something every worker can rely on if they are hurt.

On a related subject, this video goes pretty deep into real estate development and why American garages are shrinking.

Conservatives are weirdos and fucking dipshits no matter what color.

Any note, no matter how sour, sounds like a song if you hold it long enough.

Unless it is the Riker. The Riker is the alpha and omega of sour notes.

Sour symphony

Well, Pastor Dames, it’s not loving for you to say that. Tell that to Jesus!

I had to laugh at this more than anything. What an own goal.

I’m convinced we live in a timeline where the Illuminati is run by clowns and they are giving us the most absurd storylines for season 2024 of Earth AD.

MerchantsOfMisery , in Police dog Vader dies from heat exhaustion after patrol car’s air conditioning malfunctioned

BS. They’re claiming the AC broke AND the internal temp sensor which is independent of the AC, also broke? Give me a break, this is like listening to a child lie their face off to avoid accountability. The cop left his car off, happens all the time. Notice how the PD’s evidence is "just trust me bro" and there’s no actual investigation? Yeah, they’re full of shit.
