Day 5000 of people not doing what I want

My mum is watching a film which an AI query for "british film about a young girl who is abused and forced into prostitution" identifies as No Child of Mine (1997).

I identified the issue in the post, "A Message to No One", as "activities that are seen as unethical, like sex work and finance, being paid at a higher rate." I also mentioned it in this argument as "child abuse".

Finance being seen as unethical? Kate may or may not remember me; on her old Chirp Club account, which she apparently lost access to, she retweeted this status from Elon Musk:

u can’t sell houses u don’t own
u can’t sell cars u don’t own
but
u *can* sell stock u don’t own!?
this is bs – shorting is a scam
legal only for vestigial reasons

After I ran out of money when I was living outside and was about to stop, I said in an email to Mei and Kate that I would probably get a job in software development or finance. I did not. I also said that I would probably never contact them again. Whether this came to pass might be debatable; I sent more emails about the idea to everyone in my contacts that included both of them as recipients, but I have not sent another email to Kate since then (~September 2012) that was not also to everyone else in my contacts, or 50~100 people. I sent one or two to the email address I had for Mei, but they returned an error indicating the account had been closed. This was after Mei had apparently closed the other email account she had in late Dec 2011, possibly because I had accidentally sent an email to her other account after she replied to me for the first time since mid-2009.

So anyway. I definitely found some amusement in grouping finance with sex work. But if it's a problem that these activities receive higher pay, does that mean the price will go down and everyone will be able to afford it?

Some clarification: a high price is a problem because it encourages people to do it. If the 'price' is no higher than other activities, people have no special reason to do it, but the 'price' includes the risk of punishment. The reward for robbing a jewelry store is not high because the price is high, even if it's a crime that can be carried out using only a hammer. (That's a video I remember finding so funny that it was hard to continue watching due to laughter, when I first watched and downloaded it on 25 May 2012.)
