I don't see how we can claim to be civilized when we allow citizens to fend for themselves while spending money on empire.

In our discussions about strippers, I wonder how many women choose that profession because it's one of the few better paying night time jobs? How many would find other employment during the day that would pay the rent, if they had daycare taken care of?
