I’ve always teetered on issues such as e-gals and legalizing prostitution especially when looking at the rise of automation and the service industry.

I don’t think we know where this will lead us.

Speaking purely based on economics, doing less work to sustain yourself is good. But there’s hidden costs to sex work and becoming online personalities that people need to factor into their earnings.


I’m willing to bet the CCP acknowledges certain economic benefits to these sectors or else they would’ve cracked down on it much harder. We all know places like Dongguan and those 城中村 are famous for xxx.
Prostitution can't be removed completely. It's difficult to tackle compared to alcohol or drugs.

But online prostitution contributes little to economy and is an overall letdown on other aspects of society - family bonds, societal bonds, individual character etc.

Online prostitution is easy access to money. All women (and men increasingly) need is a normal human body.
Anyone who lives off such a source is, surely, going to be dependent on other negative things - drugs, alcohol, offline prostitution etc.

I think it’s really up to innovation and government policies to generate better opportunities. I initially mentioned fembots to both recognize the moral issues and as to say tech will put these jobs out of business eventually.

We humans spend a lotta money on deleterious stuff like smoking, drinking, gambling, superstitions, etc... E girls might be one of the lesser evils.


We just need to avoid the “show bob n vegana” mentality.

At this point I have to ask America an honest question: Why do you keep punching your face?
Because there leaders are racist, stupid and utter uncapable of understanding that actions have consequences. It would be nice if there leaders had sense of accountability but nooooo

Well you have people like Matthew Pottinger who relished the idea US companies doing business with China, aka traitors of the US, were going to lose their shirt under Trump. The flaw in all the US plots to undermine China is they all think China will collapse without the US and they will suffer little to nothing. And they keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome...

To be fair, the self inflicted wound is all down to Trump, Ron Vara, FAT pomp and co. Trump is such a simpleton, his simple mind is if you export more to us than us to you, by placing tariffs, then we must win.

But as we know, Pomp and Vara and the rest are more intelligent than that, but they let their ideology, and hatred to CCP China get in the way. Not only that, they led Trump into believing what he believes, and even not bothering to correct him when he kept saying China is paying for the tariffs!

Which is why I was a bit sad that he lost the election. And the adults are back in charge. We may see a more in-depth approach to relationship with China.
