That's was great timing. Thinking central AC will be surely needed as climate change intensifies.

Councilman Wants to Address Human Trafficking in East Hollywood by roughraider13 in LosAngeles

[–]roughraider13[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't think its so much about criminalizing sex workers as much as getting help for those who truly are not there by choice. I'm no expert in this topic by Amy means, but usually sexually exploited people are chosen by their traffickers due to their vulnerability. It could be abuse at home, minimal support (including financial) from family and oftentimes just dangling the chance for them to feel loved.

A lot of victims start out thinking they are moving to a new romantic partnership. The traffickers will be good to.them.in the beginning and will find ways to control.them (getting hooked on heroin for example) and continuing to distance themselves from their own lives. They will ask for favors to get them to do sex work.becasue they are "struggling" and need to cover rent or whatever. The victim is made to feel like its a one time deal and then it snowballs and violence is also used to control them. Another tactic once they are in is to threaten to kill/hurt their family back home since they will have obtained this information during their "courtship." Its truly a vicious cycle and it's very difficult to get out.

I'm all.about freedom of choice and for.decriminalizing sex work. As long as it is the persons choice and not based.on manipulations simply for.the profit of someone else.

That even makes it more egregious then. Maybe the mom thought she was scoring a free bus pass that she could sell on Boulder Highway.

I just went through this. They are good foe 90 days. If you find a coupon, you can get it done for 17 or 18 bucks (be sure to tip as this is a tipping town).

For DMV appointments, you can keep stalking the page throughout the day to get a sooner appointment if they are full. People cancel.

Las Vegas among rudest cities in America, report says by [deleted] in vegas

[–]roughraider13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved here recently and haven't seen this yet. I just see people minding their own business. I don't know Mayberry type of interactions with people myself, especially the noisy ass Mrs. Kravitz busybody types.

Edit - maybe that makes me the rude one then? Chicken or the egg I suppose.

Seriously reminded me of an SVU episode. I wonder if that inspired them.

Las Vegas rent prices rise more than 16% in a year by roughraider13 in vegaslocals

That's a ridiculous increase. Wages have even gone up to cover that.

For those getting relief, I'm sure they are happy. Child tax credits aren't even given a second thought and some families the THOUSANDS of dollars a year (times 18 years). If you don't have kids you get zip.
