I think that Macau's regime is a lot better than HK's. Well tolerated, girls there on visa's, comfortable environments for punters and girls. I don't see the huge bureaucracy that your fear, although the prices are weird numbers - taxes built in?
Put it this way I spend twice the money here for a B&S past-their-best-before-date on a mattress on a floor than I would for a young girl that I can check out first, in a great room with mirrors everywhere. And what is the difference. Here in N.A. everything is hiding in the shadows. You pay the risk premium with money and also with conditions.
And my question was hypothetical. I agree with Wander - your economics are off. You increase the supply you reduce the price. My hypothetical adjustments were to prove the point.
And the one month IS entirely arbitrary. Why not six weeks, two months whatever? I'm sure the border guard processing this chick from the mainland who's here on her 4th 'vacation' knows what's up. But that's not my point.
My point is that your has-been old ladies who are advocating better conditions for WG's are actually improving things for everyone.
You mock about paying taxes... No, you are not going to get a hooker to fill out a six page form, but I didn't bring up taxes. If someone wants to tax the industry, tax the landlord - put a room tax.
And yes, decriminalization reduces criminal activity. Look at all the drug killings in Mexico. Prohibition creates more crime - its almost self-evident. Your triad gangs aren't making money from the girls' labour, otherwise they'd be big into maid service or something. They make their money from the fact that we'll pay a hefty risk premium. Take the risk away and they have no edge. | |
