      Thanks. The site like national that let you read a few paragraphs before dropping the subscription requirements on you are the worst. Especially when it’s littered with ads to begin with.

  This is an interesting bit:

  The women who work as courtesans at Sheri’s are hired as “independent contractors” by their employers (Jeremy Lemur, the brothel’s marketing director, provided a statement to Mother Jones that emphasized that specific phrasing multiple times). However, the terms of their actual jobs may not pass the “ABC test,” a legal framework used to determine whether a worker should be considered an employee.

  It’s not just the employer saying that they are independent contractors, the courtesans themselves say it several times. Such as:

  “A lot of us are artists,” explained courtesan Paloma Karr, who is also a writer and activist. “We have all sorts of other jobs."
