Was it Matt Gaetz again?

This is just political theater to make it seem like the Governor is doing something. Colombia, and much of Latin America, has a much larger issue being extremely wealthy countries with vastly poor populations.

These countries are being kept this way purposely so that they can be exploited by much wealthier nations(US, Spain, France, Netherlands, India). This breeds a culture of self regulation and minimal government intervention, riddled with corruption and a populace left to their own devices.

Prostitution in the touristic areas hasn’t been stopped at all, just pushed a little underground while the cops look the other way, because they are also customers.

Fixing this problem requires something that won’t occur in our lifetimes. Which is unfortunate as Colombia is one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth. Antioquia specifically is such an amazing place and the Paisa people are so unique and kind. Really beautiful when isolated cultures can survive this long.

It tracks that he went back to Florida.

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.

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

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

These people are the scum of the earth and fucking disgusting to look at too. And before someone gets my ass on body shaming, actually come down to Latin America and observe the kiddy diddlers. None of them are attractive.

All the attractive foreign men who can easily get any woman they want either hire expensive escorts or use Tinder.

The plan itself is a ridiculous one and only looks to be an iron fist approach to something that isn’t going to be solved through aggressive measures like this.

Passport Bros are a disgrace to human race.

I was confused by reading it "after US citizen found with two girls at a hotel".

I think I was thinking about adult tiny woman. But now I realise where the problem is.

Ban all crackers instead, bound to be more helpful than whatever the fuck this current plan is

Better late than never I guess.
