When I was poor and going hungry, I was willing to take any job. I applied for everything - including a job that involved putting rubber boots on and standing in sewage all day for minimum wage. I don't really understand the desire to eliminate 'bad jobs'.

I think you're missing the point here

My own point is that peoples' attempts to institute limits around low-tier jobs might end up in a point where I'm hungry, I need food, you're willing to pay me $7/hr but can't afford more, and we're legally prohibited from entering an exchange that would benefit us both.

It seems weird to me that increasing a person's range of choices can be bad.

People that wish to eliminate those jobs are people that never had to "look for work"; they always chose whatever they wanted to do, far from economic hardship.

(not that i necessarily believe this but) the key assumption is that the system is responsible for ensuring we're all fed. it is directly to blame for our hunger and therefore directly to blame for any unpleasant/hazardous activities we undertake to deal with said hunger.

Have you seen Whores Glory? I agree with you but I'm not sure it is true in all places.

I think it’s coercive, but no more coercive than the literal shit job. The coercion comes from a system that requires work for money for food. Both jobs are the same in that regard. That one involves sex doesn’t change that

How do you reconcile expanded sex work with harassment prevention, though? I'm sure Blowjob Intern would overtake Roadside Human Sign Spinner as fastest growing job. This should be its own thread.
