That’s because in some instances they may get them (because independent contractors are actually covered) and others they will not. For decades in America, sex workers; performers, strippers, and almost everybody in between has largely been the subject of universal discrimination when it comes to almost anything a normal “employee” or “worker” (of any kind) would get at a normal business.
The Coronavirus relief bill is no different. In the SBA application (which is where people apply for relief as small businesses/etc) it states the following:
People are asked to confirm that they don’t “present live performances of a prurient sexual nature” or make money from “the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature.”
But the million-dollar question remains: America consumes more porn than probably most countries on earth —- but the very same people who also pay taxes aren’t allowed or afforded to get any help in the midst of a pandemic?
