Quote:

legalise prostitution and spend resources trying to prevent underage prostitution, sex slavery and macro issues such as drug abuse and poverty, but understand that unless there's a massive paradigm shift in society, prostitution will remain an industry you probably don't want to be working in.



True. Also, fast food, garbage disposal, and nuclear waste decontamination will remain industries that you won't want to work in. But, the world needs ditch diggers, too. If you aren't good at anything else, at least you can feed yourself by scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Capitalism will put a price on anything, including dignity. Hell, you can put a price on human life, just measure the different wages paid to construction workers based on how high up they work, and compare that to the increased chance of being in a fatal accident.

You can put a price on dignity, and people do it every day.
