Okay… so long as we stop there and not let the bit continue. 😬
Ukraine is considering dismantling its ban on pornography as lawmakers seek to bring a large online adult industry into the tax system and redirect millions of dollars toward the country’s wartime needs.
Yaroslav Zhelezniak, an opposition lawmaker who chairs Parliament’s finance committee, estimates legalization could generate as much as $25 million a year, according to The Wall Street Journal.
He says that would be enough to finance about 30,000 drones.
The sum is modest against Ukraine’s stated annual defense requirement of $120 billion.
However, supporters argue the industry is already generating taxable income while operating under laws that expose creators to criminal prosecution.
A bill co-authored by Zhelezniak passed its first parliamentary vote in July and is awaiting a second reading.
Do you want me to start paying for porn?
Because that’s how you get me to start paying for porn.
Tax dat ass?
Why did they ban porn in the first place?
Because Ukraine was once a very conservative country.
The local ‘OF stardom’ won’t register, or will just move abroad. The practice of their craft is not bound to any single location.
Ukraine is not a serious country, nor are it’s leaders serious people.
