        It’s to get the hell out of middle of nowhere dead end towns. At least that was the draw when I was in, as well as my cousins, and father.

            He got the hell out of Marietta Georgia, and managed to buy land in Indiana. We also have a history of being in the Navy since well before the country was founded.

            Maybe if someone enlisted long enough to get the GI bill for education and used it things would be different, but if one only does short military time and leaves with no further self-improvement the odds of being better off financially probably aren’t great.

      Yes US healthcare sucks. And this particular story sucks. And Matt Gaetz sucks. But I just want to mention that many other countries with superior healthcare systems also suck when it comes to dental care. Despite the fact that a bad dental situation can have devastating health consequences for the whole body.

        That’s nice, good job muddying the waters.

        In how many of those other countries are minors tempted to perform sexual acts on government officials to receive said shitty dental care?

      You say /s, but there is a lot of truth to this.

      Everyday, innocent women & girls sell their bodies to the highest bidder. It’s disgusting.

        What’s disgusting is that this girl was forced to do it due to her circumstances.

        Every job involves selling your body to the highest bidder. Your attitude only serves to harm people in the sex industry.

        Sex work is legitimate work. It’s only exploitative and dangerous because it’s (mostly) illegal, not the other way around.

        Sex trafficking, OTOH, is absolutely vile. It’s basically sexual slavery. But it wouldn’t happen if sex work was legalized and regulated!

        EDIT: this guy thinks AI child pr0n is “just trolling”. Fucking ewww

          What’s exploitative and dangerous was that this girl was forced to do it due to her circumstances. Whether or not sex work should be legal is irrelevant.
