Basically, the law imposed such heavy pressures that farmers who happily tried to go legal once marijuana was made legal, ended up going out of business. I can't help but viewing this as a warning parable for legalization of sex work.

Legalization of marijuana pressed out the little independent guys and placed the power in the hands of the bigger corporations who could handle all the fees and taxes, and ended up incentivizing crime and abuse for the remaining black market workers (hence name Murder Mountain)

If sex work is legalized in the US, will this end up punishing independent workers and putting the power in the hands of Big Brothel? Will this end up only increasing the crime and abuse for those who refuse to take on the heavy mantle of legal requirements?

I mean I assume yes, I'm already biased towards yes, but this happening in the marijuana business really accentuates this. Decriminalize, don't legalize!

The IRS (or an employee speaking off the cuff) has stated that, 'Its just easier auditing small businesses.' The little guy doesn't have the resources to fight or bribe his way out from under the boot.

I stayed in Eureka for about a week a few months ago and it was just so harrowing to see the shambles that city and area are in.

Sadly this is how government works. Either you're granted an oligopoly by bribing them with a cut of corporate profits or you're banned and sent to jail for daring to produce. Free market would be great, but can't be produced in this type of democracy.
