>Young Greek women are selling sex for the price of a sandwich as six years of painful austerity have pushed the European country to the financial brink, a new study showed Friday.

>The study, which compiled data on more than 17,000 sex workers operating in Greece, found that Greek women now dominate the country’s prostitution industry, replacing Eastern European women, and that the sex on sale in Greece is some of the cheapest on offer in Europe.

>“Some women just do it for a cheese pie, or a sandwich they need to eat because they are hungry,” Gregory Laxos, a sociology professor at the Panteion University in Athens, told the London Times newspaper. “Others [do it] to pay taxes, bills, for urgent expenses or a quick [drug] fix,” said Laxos, who conducted the three-year study.

>When the economic crisis began in Greece, the going rate for sex with a prostitute was 50 euros ($53), the London newspaper quoted Laxos as saying. Now, it’s fallen to as low as two euros ($2.12) for a 30-minute session.

>He said his wide-ranging study showed that the number of desperate young women — the ones offering the cheapest sex — appeared to be on the rise. “It doesn’t look like these numbers will fade,” he told the Times. “Rather they are growing at a steady and consistent pace.”

>Prostitution is legal in Greece. The study showed that most of the Greek women just coming into prostitution are between the ages of 17 and 20.

>The study comes after a shocking report last month of an unemployed Greek mother pimping her 12-year-old daughter to a priest and a retired man for money.

Wow I get to suck and fuck dick for 2 euros and I get to be pimped out by my mom at 12 years old to old men. Thank you Madame Angela Merkel and the Pimps at the EU, ECB and IMF (Troika) for pimping me out for 2 euros! Finally I have LIBER-TEA!

>>13351

So you're saying that young Greek women deserve to be sentenced to sucking/fuck dick for 2 euros because the Greek politicians bankrupted the country. You see the bourgeois are not pimping out their daughters here. It's the working-class who are pimping out their daughters. The working-class pay the price for the avarice of the bourgeoisie.

I read a book about the Greek Financial Debt Crisis and the author produced data that shows that Greece's government spending was in line with average Eurozone/EU government spending. But their tax revenues were way too low. Because there is a lot of tax evasion in Greece and about 25-28% of the economy is in the black market. Which isn't taxed.

The bourgeois are not paying their damn taxes. That's the problem here. The bourgeois in the more financially stable EU nations are paying a larger share.

>>13353

Are you saying those young women didn't vote for the politicians that got them into this mess of sucking dick/fucking for 2 euros?

Greece is a perfect example of everything wrong with leftism and what it entails. Everyone was so happy not to work and to leech off of people who did work that this was the end result when those working all left or quit.

>muh taxes

Why do you think they went to the black market in the first place? Why does the black market even exist in the first place? Once again, lefties showing their hatred of everything that undermines big government. Even with tax rates like other nations, the Greek culture has been bred into laziness via lefty politicians and this isnthe natural recourse. Hopefully the next generation will see what their parents and grandparents did, and respond properly when you dumbasses show up again promising free shit for everyone and guaranteeing that no one needs to work.

Serves them well for thinking they could live off of others without working if they just voted for it.

These are the consequences of socialist wishful thinking.

>b-b-ut Merkel!!

When will they stop bitching and take responsibility for their fuckups? Socialism always "works" until an evil conspiracy ends it. That's the narrative. Then there's poverty and hunger and the only solution is more socialism, of course.

The poorer they are, the more socialist they are. It's like socialism is both cause and effect of poverty.

Well played, my friend. The only thing that's free market about the EU is that it has opened the borders between Europe. Other than that, it's as socialist as it gets. It heavily subsidizes the agrarian sector (and a bunch of other industries), has banned tobacco advertising and created some extremely strict regulations to "protect" customers, usually from themselves. The german anti-discrimination law (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz) was made to conform to a directive from the EU, for example.

Well, forgot to remove my flag.

I feel like adding something:

>The regulations are just the result of Europeans not liking to be cucks.

This is just outright ignorance. The anti-discrimination law is cuckoldry codified. You don't want to hire a black person? You better come up with a good reason as to why that isn't discriminating agains this skin color. You read that correctly: The burden of proof is on you to show that you're NOT discriminating.

It's statistically certain a majority of these women did, but I see your point. Both those that did and those that didn't are victims of the political machine.

It's still a case of blaming the butterfly for the hurricane; democracy (or any other political system for that matter) can afford to be inefficient or even evil (as they have for millenia) as long as it remains small and its reach limited. The EU is anything but.

Anon, you know as well as I do that human beings have no agency and the minds of infants. They need the infinitely wise and benevolent state to protect them from all those insidious billboards and colorful moving pictures. A bit of their money is a small price to pay for such security.

>Implying that we are not the state in a free society.

The point of a free and democratic republic is to have a people who make rules for themselves. If we don't want advertisements, then what right do the advertisers have to stop us? Their only right in this case is to just vote against the proposition and voice their opposition to such a law.

Though honestly, we should only stop advertising aimed at children, if you want my opinion.

Also, the EU is not democratic, and it actually deregulated markets by overriding the more protectionist aspects of the various national laws made by social democrats.

Additionally, federalism exists. Democracies can be made much larger if most of the power is invested in local governments that follow a direct democratic system.


 No.13431

>>13425

>Also, the EU is not democratic,

I'd subscribe to that

>and it actually deregulated markets by overriding the more protectionist aspects of the various national laws made by social democrats.

It deregulated some aspects and regulated a lot more. If you're a small vendor working within a single country, the EU will hardly take regulation off your back.


 No.13432

>>13425

Democracy isn't freedom, though. It's just mob rule. If you don't want advertisements, then don't allow advertisements on your property. But you have no right to tell other people what they can and cannot put on theirs. "Do what we want or else because there's more of us" isn't my idea of a free society.

Also, even if I were to accept this line of thinking, I have not seen any majority of American citizens speaking out in opposition to advertisements. There may be small pockets of the "enlightened few" who think they know what's best for others and can't stand the thought of the poor, stupid, impressionable masses being subject to (gasp) depictions of products in a favorable light, but by and large, nobody really seems to feel all that exploited.

>The point of a free and democratic republic is to have a people who make rules for themselves

That sounds nice until you consider that people aren't making rules for themselves in any political system; persons are abstracted into a fiction known as "people" and their individual freedom to make decisions is consumed by the fiction. When you can't individually decide which rules you want, then you don't have freedom. That means you get to make rules for you, not for anyone else.

You can choose not to have advertisements on your property, but you have no right to restrict others from doing so; they must agree to abide by your rules contractually and therefore individually.

>>13433

>Advertisements are against the free market

Hey guys; lets provide goods and services competitively, but don't you dare tell anyone what you're offering. They have to ask you.

…What?

I don't know; they said it was something called "affirmative consent".

That's what I've been dreaming for years. Oh god, Yurop finally did something not wrong.
