RE: Nicole Thomas-Kennedy
It's actually her opponent who wants to target buyers. That means you and I. She, like Kennedy, is still less-likely to target the SWs, so I'm not sure how they will differ in terms of pimps. One thing Kennedy stated is that it's the SWs out there who know who is trafficked but they never report because they are afraid of dealing with the criminal justice system. She wants to make that type of reporting easier for them to do. How, I have no idea, and we all know that a lot of SWs really do prefer their pimps, so I guess we'll see on that. But I honestly think that if Davison is elected, the stings will start back-up again and SPD will be going after all of us. With all of the talking through the window these girls out there right now have the guys conditioned to do, that will potentially be crazy.
I guess we'll see how that turns out. One thing that seems odd is that de-criminalization will embolden the girls out there and they'll continue to act wild. That's one of the biggest complaints from around that area, soccer moms and their kids having to see hookers standing out there in their thongs, LOL. Just seems as though if de-criminalization happens, there should be some sort of zone where the girls can walk. I don't know, just a thought.
[QUOTE=EngrJoe;5586292]Not a fucking chance. She wants to decriminalize everything. It's bad enough with the T-rones chasing off the independents and small operators, and then driving around in their new Maserati's with hyper tinted windows to show their girls how successful they are.[/QUOTE]
RE: Nicole Thomas-Kennedy
Speaking of digging deeper, there has been a lot of misinformation around the term "defund the police". What that means is to hire more social workers and other professionals so that they are available to certain situations and people such as sex workers, homeless and issues with the mentally-ill. This actually frees police officers to go to calls regarding actual crime. Right now in most American cities, cops are sent on calls for all kinds of social issues and not necessarily criminal situations. There have been times when they are tied-up on those calls and not responding quickly to very serious calls. That's what that means. If your concern, as you stated in your post, is that you want police to be available when you call then this proposed method is actually what you should be looking at.
All I know is this. We've had homeless for years, we've had drug and addiction issues for years, we've have issues with mentally-ill on our streets and of course issues with prostitution. It's safe to say here that for all of our lives these issues have all essentially been handled via law enforcement. Here's the thing - we still have issues and none of these things have declined over the years. Law enforcement and criminalization hasn't resolved any of it. I'm to the point of trying something different. I don't see a lot of the same issues we have here in other western nations. We need to take a look at other methods. It's time.
But either way, vote your conscience. I'm but one person. This has been an interesting race and i'm starting to follow it closely and very interested to see how it turns out.
[QUOTE=DrtyHarry;5587374]You and everybody that is voting should dig deeper and then make up your mind. She is ultra liberal and wants to decriminalize everything not just sex work. She also wants to defund the police by 50%. That sounds good in theory and is very good for story books. But the stark reality is that Seattle today is bursting at the seams with violet crimes. Seattle always had the reputation of a safe city to grow up in and raise your kids. That is not true today. I am all for police education, reform and accountability. But I am definitely not in favor of defunding the police in anyway shape or form. I am a common man. That wants to live in a safe neighborhood and call the cops when I need them. Defunding the police is counter-intuitive for me. I do not want to turn this into a political discussion. But since you brought it up, I want to urge all voters to PLEASE read up and dig deep on the candidates and do not vote based on color (blue / red). Please read the issues and policies of each candidate, then make the best decision for yourself, family and community. Just my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]
Is inflation worries also hitting the industry?
Seeing multiple providers increase their prices from 250 - 350 with more increases coming soon in the next couple months they said. I might as well book a trip to Asia at this point jfc.
Inflation is coming for sure.

YouTube Video - Interview with LA Streetwalker
Wasn't sure where this post belongs so trying here. Admin, let me know if you'd prefer I post this kind of content in a different forum.
I sometimes watch this channel on YouTube called Soft White Underbelly. The channel's creator is a photographer in Los Angeles and he set-up shop on skid row and does photography and interviews with people in and around the street life. He features interviews with addicts, prostitutes, pimps, mentally-ill, gang members, etc. I find some of his content to be very interesting.
Today he posted this half-hour interview with an SW who walks Figueroa Street which is one of the main tracks in LA. She's 23 and started when she was 13. Said she sometimes travels, wonder if she comes up this way. I think it's a good watch in case you're interested -.

Some of his interviews with pimps are pretty interesting as well. Perhaps I'll post some of those, too.
Asian providers / body rubs vs non-Asian providers. #notaracist
I wanted to see what others think. In my experience the Asian providers provide and do much better service and experience. The communication frequency is better and also they don't suffer from GPS. But, non Asian providers are arrogant, buzz kills, average looking and are looking to scam me. I know the pictures of Asian providers are never the same but, I do enjoy the service they provide.
What do you'll think or have experienced?
