13. It Generates More Money Than Illicit Activities
Guns and drugs are both very hot issues right now. Everyone is always talking about the drug war, and the toll it takes on our society, and rightfully so. People also spend a lot of time talking about the problem of illegal guns, especially in the light of all of the recent tragedies. But the thing is, the prostitution trade generates more money than both of those things put together. Crazy, right? But also true. There was a study done recently by the Urban Institute that said just that. Just in Atlanta the industry is doing $290 million a year. Are you kidding me? It seems that a lot of people like their guns, and even more like their drugs, but they still can’t beat the one thing that people seem to crave the most. It makes sense really. It is not called the world’s oldest profession for nothing after all.
