In SF, strippers were upset about working conditions, sued, and laws were changed so that strippers are now considered employees, not independent contractors. This backfired horribly, with strip clubs cutting pay to make up for losses, and hundreds of strippers quitting. (Cont)

I anticipate something like this happening when the laws change around ride sharing platforms. I predict, in the end, the ways the platforms have to adapt to comply to the laws will end up having the worst outcomes for the drivers.

Sex workers seem to me to broadly fall into the "young female liberal" group, which tend towards fairness-oriented ideas, regardless of how practical they are.

A good friend of mine was a founding member of the Exotic Dancer's Alliance that unionized the Lusty Lady in San Francisco. The dancers were much happier afterwards because their working conditions and pay improved. The anti-union propaganda around this is amazing.

People are more than willing to sacrifice some flexibility in hours for significantly better conditions. You should check out the documentary about the Lusty Lady https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264802/ … It was in business until 2013 in a competitive market until rent demands forced closure.

How about the large scale brain damage that was caused by tetra-ethyl lead poisoning. should we revoke all those government regulations that ban mass poisoning of the population so we can enjoy the full benefits of leaded fuel and paint?

"This whole business will be completely ruined. The whole point about being a stripper is you go in, get fast cash, no one knows how you’re getting it, it’s not documented and it’s not taken from you" So the business model is only viable because of tax evasion?
