Politicians are such fucking idiots. "We've got a pedophile problem" "Close the bars at 1 am, and make prostitution extra illegal"

what does shutting down sex work and bars do unless children are at bars & doing sex work???? classic carceral thinking, making whatever processes/institutions that enabled this more oblique and underground than transparent

At a press conference, Mayor Federico Gutiérrez said that he would be signing two decrees: one, prohibiting sex work in the area of Medellín for six months, and another, the enforcement of a 1 a.m. closing time for bars in the area for a month.

So now people will not be able to make a living because of this scumbag. Were I a sex-worker in the area, I'd be pretty pissed off. I don't know a better way to address this, I'm just saying that this is why we can't have nice things.

This doesn’t even address the problem. Literally doing nothing is a better solution than the one implemented.
