Sex work is work, and sex workers deserve all the protections that other workers deserve (note I said deserve, in both cases it is seldom what they get). The documentary spends most of itâs time talking about these issues

Makes sense to me. It took me awhile to realize that the more work youâre willing to do, the more work you get asked to do.

We need to be more like the French in their response to retirement cuts.
Raising the retirement age while life expectancy is decreasing - what utter bullshit.
