      I’m kind of surprised that not a single state has yet.

      Like the states that legalized weed have made a bonkers amount of tax money while the others continue to lose out to other states or the black market. And oh look, suddenly way less drug crime.

      Legalize it, regulate it, then tax it. The Netherlands figured it out. Kind of surprised Nevada hasn’t taken their shot. A state could legalize it and watch their tourist and tax revenues skyrocket while likely lowering human trafficking to boot.

        I’m not against legalization of prostition or drugs, but the only thing The Netherlands figured out is that simply legalization doesn’t make the problems go away. Both drug crime and human trafficking are still a big issue.

        i honestly didn’t know sex work was still illegal hopefully there’s some society resurgence in support of them.

        i feel like as a society if a topic isn’t trending in news nothing happens to it.

          In most countries it still is and basically always was illegal. I wouldn’t hold your breath for the US any time soon, since half the states still can’t get their shit together to legalize a harmless plant, and the puritanical pushback from the federal level if a state attempted to legalize prostitution, especially with a conservative administration, would probably be swift and immediate.

          Lots of states have casinos, this country loves to gamble. My understanding though is the brothels are highly limited in Nevada. Like, they are severely limited to where they can operate. There’s not actually any in Las Vegas, for instance.

          It’s hardly the model we should be copying.
