Illinois is thinking about decriminalizing prostitution.
I am shocked that Washington DC has not legalized prostitution

San Fran, New York, Seattle, Portland, also are all cities I would expect it to be legalized in. American Democrats are strange in supporting the sexual degeneracy of LGBT but opposing adult prostitution.
It would crash the price of pu**y and your average non Christian man would just pay for it instead or engaging in relationships or hookups with terrible women.

This is what I think personally is the reason why feminists/women want it banned. Porn does not provide sex for men which is why it’s allowed despite being degenerate.
I’m actually of two schools of thought on this. OK for devil’s advocate, let’s say we turn all of the big cities into another Amsterdam or Las Vegas with red light districts for drugs and prostitution. People should be free to flush their lives away if they want to on drugs and whores.
The problem with that is this in cities like Amsterdam that have legalized drugs, there’s also a skyrocketing and staggering amount of mental disorder. If you take someone who’s functional at life, and give them access to drugs like methamphetamine, or fentanyl, or heroin, or what not people who have an addictive personality suddenly go from being functional to completely dysfunctional.
Do we want to see a massive spike in addiction to drugs and whores?

Fair enough, before returning to Orthodoxy I would’ve considered it if it were available.

Drugs and whores do not need to go together. How many people become homeless due to drugs or gambling vs how many become homeless because of whores? One of these vices is clearly less destructive to men.
I’d argue onlyfans is popular precisely because men can’t get prostitutes legally. Men don’t want legal trouble so onlyfans provides a risk free method to get some sort of female interaction (albeit virtual.)

I’m going with the Amsterdam example .
They just legalize everything. Drugs, whores, whatever..
Should we legalize either of these? Just one?
Is Chicago wrong for looking into legalizing prostitution with red light districts?
As for not separating drugs from prostitution, I’m guessing it’s common for pimps to trade drugs in exchange for sex, or to keep their whores drugged up. I don’t really know that much about it, which is why I’m asking if any of this is actually a good idea?

Portland was a failed example of legalized drugs. Pimps will find drugs illegally since they’re already breaking laws.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics just released its finalized employment numbers for 2024 so we can now do a full review of job creation under Gov. J.B. Pritzker since 2019, the year he took office.
Wirepoints compared the number of payroll jobs across all fifty states in both 2024 and 2019 (annual averages*), and for Illinois, the facts are damning.
Illinois had fewer private sector jobs over the period, losing a total of 1,900 total jobs. It was the nation’s 5th-worst performance.
Compare that to the net new private sector jobs created in Texas: 1.2 million. Or Florida, up 930,000 jobs. Even California managed to create 520,000 net new private sector positions over the same period.
Illinois’ neighbors? Missouri had 71,800 more private sector jobs in 2024 than in 2019. Indiana was up by 95,600. Michigan, up 41,100. Kentucky has nearly 90,000 more. Iowa – a fourth the size of Illinois – gained 3,200 jobs.
Taking into account both private and government sectors, Illinois ranked as 11th-worst in total net job creation since 2019. In all, the state has created just 9,600 net new jobs since 2019.
Illinois’ job creation is anemic compared to its big-state peers. Aside from Illinois’ overall lack of growth, what’s notable about the other big states is how little they’ve depended on new government jobs for overall job creation.
Government jobs contributed only single-digit shares to the other states’ overall job growth. North Carolina’s share was just 8%. Florida’s just 3%. Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York even had negative government job growth over the period.
Illinois, in contrast, because of its loss of private sector jobs, relied entirely on government for its overall job growth.
*******************
At Wirepoints, we’ve consistently made the case that Illinois’ many failed policies have turned the state into an extreme national outlier on the metrics that matter most for its residents.
It’s the same for jobs. Things won’t change for Illinoisans until they connect the dots between Illinois’ bad policies, its bad outcomes and the politicians they vote for.
*Note: Wirepoints used annual averages to avoid the volatility inherent in comparing point-to-point monthly jobs numbers. Comparing years using annual averages of job numbers from Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data is a common and appropriate approach. The BLS itself often reports and analyzes employment trends using annual averages to smooth out short-term fluctuations and provide a more stable year-over-year comparison.

Overall Growth
Illinois did manage to create overall job growth over the period, but only because of a growth in government jobs. Total local, state and federal government jobs were up by 11,500 compared to 2019.Taking into account both private and government sectors, Illinois ranked as 11th-worst in total net job creation since 2019.
