    Duh. Another reason why a generalization about porn industry pay is as off-base as the legislation being proposed.

    It's like an irresistible trap and people just keeping taking the bait, regardless of history. I'd love a universal income where we could all live and travel as we please, free healthcare, free college, but sadly things don't work like that. The country would collapse like a house of cards and we'd all be fighting over some government bureaucrat's table scraps in a dumpster.

    If everybody had a dollar a cup of coffee would cost 2. If everybody had 2 dollars then it would cost 3. Simple supply and demand.

    With a guaranteed income how many people would choose not to work? Who would serve the coffee? Would you work as a barista if you had more income than the job typically pays? Would you be a doctor, lawyer or engineer if you didn't make any more money than a barista.

    That’s the problem. I went to the Soviet Union in 1987 and the workers always said when discussing their job....”They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work”. Truck drivers earned more than doctors. Finally the ruble was a joke even among them. Money was any western currency.
    Many like Bernie and AOC will day that’s because theoretical who ran it were corrupt and incompetent and greedy bastards. Well that what always happens and has happened everywhere else. What makes anyone think it will be different here????

    It wont happen. The people like Bernie and AOC are there only to get the people riled up. There will be someone like them that wins, says the same thing, but its cloak and daggers in the background. The Cabal is real.

    If you think the "money" is going to let loose of it, you are mistaken. They could raise the "tax rate" to 100% on the rich. They still wont pay a dime. Its the middle class, like me, that will get bent.

    How rich do you have to be to join the Cabal? Can any Tom, Dick and Harry with a hundred million or so be in it or do you have to be a billionaire? Is Trump in it? Or Mark Cuban and Elon Musk? How about Gayle Benson?

    No magic number. Can be also those who have access to power. CEO’s, politicians, etc.

    Trump is clearly not in it.

    Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
