We are supposed to be prim and proper puritans with a tighty whiteys, clean secure and chaste

Anyone else is a sexual deviant and needs to be incarcerated immediately

Let's be real though in a dystopia economy, sex is a go to bartering tool.

I wanted to start a topless car wash that served wings and beer. Then there was that time the cops showed up, who knew making whiskey in the woods was illegal?

Lol, yeah pretty sure moonshine had been illegal since before July 4th 1776.

I wanted to open/buy a liquor store Pre-COVID but the maintenance and cost of the license is too high and too dangerous to operate.

The pandemic is wrecking Chinatowns all over NYC. A lot of small businesses like restaurants and groceries have closed.

Personally speaking, I have no interest in watching people have sex or watching people partaking in solo sexual acts. I actually feel sorry for them and I'll leave it there.

There are many, who have spoken about their "only fans" regrets publicly online..

ok so some people regret doing it. who cares?

let's just ban anything anyone has ever regretted doing!

I made it through the about 3 minutes of the second video and it's clear this girl is an imbecile. 1)it's a scam because you'll lose customers after a few months? No that doesn't make it a scam. It means if she expected to keep selling the same material and not lose customers she's an idiot. 2) people will steal your pictures- ok, and you couldn't figure that out going in? Again she's an idiot.

I'm sure you're big on marriage and yet half of marriages end in divorce and a lot of still married people who won't get divorced still regret getting married, and yet the government not only allows marriage they incentivize it.

It's 2021. With the technology we have it's easier for people to make money without a regular job than it ever has been before- be it porn from home or anything else.

yes things were much more moral when women had no rights and people put on a high and mighty act in public while acting like savages in private.

The Race Dividing Left strikes again.
"The unemployment rate for Black workers is four percentage points higher than whites. For Latino workers, the gap is seven percentage points."

Yes, not just Blacks and Hispanics. However, the above-quote highlights the disproportionate effect of unemployment on those groups. So, yes, when it comes to impact, race does factor, regardless of one's feeling about the "race-dividing left."

Interesting article about cutting enchanced UI beneftis.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/states-...th-11630488601

So it basically made no difference if people were getting federally enhanced UI benefits, the job growth was the same in states that cut them vs. states that didn't.

Interesting perspective since it's often argued that people don't want to work because they're getting more from unemployment than they are with a job.

Seems NY keeping the benefits had no impact on job growth.

New York City’s recovery crashed into a pothole in July with a decline in jobs for the first time this year amid more displays of the disproportionate impact of the pandemic recession on Black and Latino workers.

Three major data points paint a worrisome picture for the city:

New York lost 14,000 jobs in July, while the rest of the country saw its strongest employment growth in a year, numbers released Thursday by the state Labor Department show. The local unemployment rate declined slightly to 10.5% primarily because people stopped looking for work, rather than because they found jobs. The rate remains about double the national figure.

The unemployment rate for Black workers is four percentage points higher than whites. For Latino workers, the gap is seven percentage points.

Even college degrees haven’t seemed to help narrow the racial gap: Nearly 40% of college-educated Black and Latino residents are mired in low-wage occupations, compared to less than 17% of white and Asian New Yorkers. That’s according to a just-released report from the group Here to Here — underscoring the structural inequality that makes it difficult for workers of color to move up the economic ladder.

While local economic statistics can be volatile and July could be an aberration, the details of Thursday’s jobs report revealed weakness in key sectors of the city’s economy.

Meanwhile, the local outlook for August and September has worsened with back-to-the-office plans stalling and some unemployment insurance benefits expiring.

‘We Are Losing Jobs’
They should have voted for Trump. Instead they voted for Biden and his magic beans and empty promises. Elections matter.
