That sounds less of a China problem and more of a “we went for the lowest possible bidder” problem

I’m really having a hard time finding trump supporters these days like I used to

I’ve talked to many American Christians online, very few of them actually support him, and those who did were often subject to ridicule.

His followers are generally stupid or uninformed and sheltered at best. He just made it really obvious to them, by doing something that would offend even the most casual evangelical.

I genuinely believe a big factor in his election was that clip of Kamala Harris telling someone who proclaimed “Christ is King” at her rally that “you’re at the wrong rally”. A short video clip to tip a fencesitter.

American companies want to know everything I do to control how I vote and bleed me dry of money

China wants me to draw a line on a map of Asia in their preferred way

I’d trust Chinese companies more than the US at this point

Am I missing context

Probably reconnisaince, which is the closest thing to tourism during wars

Can hand deliver it or something

What a horrible day to pay taxes

For a second I thought this was real. I know some companies forcibly restart their own work devices if they’re left switched on and not interacted with for a while in order to apply security patches

I mean we kinda are… We let them use our airbases. A few weeks ago an American Hercules literally woke me up and it was en route to the Middle East. I am contemplating sending the U.S. Consulate a strongly worded letter.

You won’t be laughing when God shows you this meme you posted on Judgement Day

And what if you don’t have the qualifications?

Strawman time! Oh boy!

Because it’s legal. You cannot get a prostitute to safety without substantial proof that they’re being forced

Sex workers who work legally need to be eligible to work in the country they reside in and they are protected by workers laws.

That makes it even worse. If you stop engaging in prostitution, you get fired and your working visa is revoked. Also, you’re assuming all victims of human trafficking are immigrants/don’t have the right to work in the country. At least in the UK, unless if you’re a student or a tourist, if you don’t have a right to work there, you probably don’t havw a right to be there either.

Also when sex work is illegal it’s mostly done by organised crime and and the right amount of money and leverage employed at the right spots can get the police / the state to look the other way.

Maybe this applies to countries with corruption issues and lack of morals.

Essentially, if police come across a brothel and the women (who are coerced) claim they are there consensually, they cannot do much. If it’s illegal, then they can actually get them to safety so they can tell them they were forced. If they weren’t, they can just drop the charges. This is basically what Northern Ireland has been doing- and the only people who have been convicted were also convicted of perpetuating human trafficking (they weren’t a victim)

Nonces are going to nonce

Also, legalising prostitution makes protecting women from being trafficked harder
