Have student loans?
Sex sells, and legalized brothels do very well. The Moonlite Bunny Ranch Brothel in Nevada boasts more than 500 women in its employ. Owner Dennis Hof estimates that around 20% of the young women working for him
carry some student loan debt.
Another worker, who goes by the name Caressa Kisses, was also carrying a $40,000 debt load. She said she left Bunny Ranch nine years ago to study as a surgical technician at High-Tech Institute, a for-profit school in Las Vegas. But she couldn't find full-time work in her field after finishing the program, and she headed back to Bunny Ranch in 2012.
Caressa said she'd been making the minimum payments, but a floating interest rate made her debt load balloon back to $32,000. Hof started doubling her payments last year, and she paid off the last of her balance three months ago.
Is this a publicity stunt? Probably. Are the employees of the Bunny Ranch getting help paying down their student loans? Yes.
Lee took out $33,000 to cover her studies, and she recently graduated from a community college in Kentucky where she studied applied science. Lee also said she struggled to find a job, especially one that paid enough to cover her loan payments.
She said she's made more than $15,000 at The Ranch so far, and she's making debt payments every week.
Hof said the matching payments will come out of the 50% cut he takes of clients' payments to Bunny Ranch employees.
So say what you will about Mr. Hof, our congress's record with women is far far more demeaning and repugnant than anything this (literal) pimp has done.
