Crack whore. Prostitutes and escorts can make some sweet money, crack whores get paid much less and spend it on crack. At least as a slave you're guaranteed food, a house and some kind of care. Maybe even freedom.

Crack whore is worse. Because it comes with implicit decline of health etc.

Being a pampered slave can be comfy in comparisation. If being gifted a gold chain, it can be assuemed that the owner was rich and somewhat caring to begin with.

That explains why US News names it number 1 on their list of worst jobs in 1999.

You know Bill Clinton was a lawyer so a lot of TV people now come to him asking him for advice to make their shows more believable. He's the leading consultant on that one show, uh....How To Get Away With Murder, yeah that's the one.

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit... The open primaries are over and Macri and his entire neoliberal coalition got absolutely obliterated. If these results hold in the general, he'll lose the presidency and the province of Buenos Aires by a landslide to the Peronists under Fernández & Fernández.

Not only that, but all the more right-wing parties fell behind the goddamn Trotskyists.

No wonder Macri's team refused to say anything concrete or make any sort of evaluations for the future and the rest of the campaign before the first official results came in. They are done. Macri just blew his way through all of the political capital of the three big parties his coalition was built on. He's single-handedly killed Republican Proposal, the Radical Civic Union and the Civic Coalition. Elisa Carrió, the leader of the Civic Coaliton, rushed onto stage after Macri admitted defeat and gave an impromptu, absolutely deranged speech where she whined that the majority are just conformists who like authoritarianism and compared us to ancient Hebrews who wanted to return to their old Egyptian masters during the Exodus.

You know what? I think I love my country now.
