Prostitution will skyrocket. It will be a side hustle that will be normalized more or less. For the sake of their dignity, women will frame him as a boyfriend, or 'a friend' FWB (friend with benefits), whatever to maintain a sense of self respect. The guy keeping the lights on will be said to be her 'man', or whatever.

The biggest fear of the government and the military is if things get so bad, poor and working class whites who don't see any light at the enf of their financial tunnel will start looking at blacks without sh*t as allies. In the 1600s it started out like that and the 1% of that day invented slavery and white supremacy.
