Seems like just banning sex work would make more sense and cost the tax payers less.
You have to be 21 to drink, 21 to buy cigarettes, and now 21 to work as a stripper... either you’re an adult at 18 and able to give legal consent or you’re not. If we want to raise the age of legal adulthood to 21, fine, but that means military service and voting too. You can’t be old enough to consent to war or sex, but not old enough to consent to tobacco or stripping.
States just need to pick an age and stick to it. Ideally it would be 16 for everything, and we get back to a time when we didn’t have this crazy prolonged adolescence. But we live in a time where 27 year olds act like 14 year olds, never knowing any kind of responsibility.
Remember a time when 16 year old boys had a job, a POS car (that they paid for), at least two hunting rifles, and respect for their elders?
Folks, start homeschooling your kids if you can. Adolescence isn’t just a “time to be a kid” but a time for learning how to be an adult. If they don’t learn as kids, they don’t learn.

Well said.
