Sex work also has a way of subverting patriarchal norms upon which the status quo rests.

cough, what? No, it reinforces those norms. Men in power get to have women at their beck and call.

This isn't a capitalist thing. Just look at how profitable the sex industry is in Nevada.

It's a "holier than thou" thing that we just haven't been able to get rid of in our society.

As much as I like calling out greed for what it is, this simply isn't one of those cases.

Australians are some of the most racist people on the planet.

I've noticed, the less diverse a population is, the more racist they become while the rest of the world focuses on nations who actually have to deal with diversity. US, Sweden, etc.

The right to bear arms doesn't mean you can own any gun you want. There are already restrictions.

Funny watching you people use the same rhetoric the alt-right uses when talking about the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

It's not unheard of for Americans to eat at least a pound of meat per day.

30,000 is a drop in the bucket.

but I find that appalling.

Probably because you're not able to comprehend feeding 300 million people.

Problem is that the more money we spend on social services, the more expensive they become because they're all owned by corporations that are maximizing profit.

Something something 'seize the means of production.'

Glad this is an opportunity for people to see how nuanced these issues can be.

Good thing this is making more people anti-Zionist and acknowledge that criticism of Israel is not criticism of Jews.

To be fair, those are some powerful allies.

Funny how North Korea isn't on there, though.

there are some markets where these properties are fighting for a very finite supply of tenants.

True, but these aren't usually the markets in major cities. It's why rent is actually affordable outside of them.

The United States needs to stop supporting Israel.
