Sorry, it's behind the paywall but decent story.
Continues to amaze me how the national media dodges the sex work angle, as if these intrepid reporters can't figure out what's going on at AMPs. Of course, if it's a rich guy like Robert Kraft involved, then the media is all in on possible trafficking, exploitation, and other politically agitating angles. But a sober look at sex work? Nah.
Most of the women who were killed apparently struggled to make ends meet. Yes, there are providers in the business who do well but it seems there are many who do not. The pandemic has been very tough on the parlor business.
I can't speak to either problems but there are issues
It's a fair point but look at it this way. It's the not issue on hand. We have a kid who's balls barley dropped killing people (and targeting specific establishments) so we need to discuss that as a nation. Your sperm being slapped out of you by a 50 yo grandma can be discussed later after the victims have been buried and the ***** face is investigated.
[QUOTE=Vx333;5279048]It's about the narrative. I'm sure they can figure it out. But right now they're trying to humanize these girls by talking about their families, etc. The topic of AMPs as sex trafficking centers doesn't fit when they also talk about how the girls went home to their family every night, had dreams of travel, etc.
It had to be one or the other. And racism gets way more attention than sex work right now. All about those clicks and views.[/QUOTE]
Not the room service he wanted

Not sure if hobby related, but a cautionary tale.
