Just do it and don't do it with sex work.

it is and it's like and that's i think one of my biggest annoyances about the people who are anti-sex workers will just do it another way is it doesn't take into account um people who don't have support systems really right because if you are a single parent you you have to put your child in daycare and like i can't even imagine what the rates are now i think back then i was paying 200 a week for daycare, which is not a small amount of money.

No.
12:44
No, it's not.
12:46
And I can't even imagine what it is now.
12:47
But it's like, OK, well, if I work there, then I do have to put my child in daycare.
12:51
How do I afford daycare? And it's not just the afford daycare.
