The world, as far as I can see it and through it, has certainly turned bonkers! With the advent of
fast internet connections, we have equally fast-acting viruses, trojans, spyware, and hackers. With our energy resources being depleted by the minute, we spend twice as much of it! Plus, with the proliferation of the dreaded AIDS virus, or all those other sexually transmitted diseases, prostitution just turned legal in some countries, specifically in Germany! Well, this is not latest breaking news for most of us, but the idea that there are certain benefits you would be receiving from the German government in being a prostitute is indeed news! More so, losing certain benefits by not being one!
As one of the welfare states of the world, Germany has definitely taken one step ahead of its counterpart states in the European region. I think they even surpassed the absurdity of having heroin clinics and heroin addiction being treated as any other legal addiction. In the country's welfare provisions and laws, any woman aged 54 years and below who have not been formally employed for over, if not equal to, a year is subject to employment considerations in Germany's sex industry. If she doesn't do this, this poor woman would lose the unemployment benefits she is receiving from the government! The
German government contends that this is a formidable solution for the growing unemployment rate of the country, and that the prostitutes are protected by certain laws and provisions that were set forth by the government specified for this employment post. A woman, not to be named for purposes of legality (and morality, I guess), has reported to have lost her unemployment benefits she has been receiving from the German government because she did not want to be a prostitute, and yet there were no other options regarding employment that were available for her to choose otherwise.
