Leave them alone . There’s no trafficking. Just good ol fun by adults..you like massage, love you long time.
None of the massage parlors are staffed by trafficked women. You can catch them after hours at the casino. They all have cars and operate as independent contractors
A product that so many want, yet the goverment can not figure a way to regulate and tax it… The extreamly weathy get away using it and the others get jail for it…
They’re killjoys, Party Poopers, Buzz kill, spoilsport, belly acher, sourpuss… poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in America for 15 years old and up.
