Jamin Philip Gray reported about a little problem in the current German employment laws:
- If you're unemployed for more than a year in Germany, and you refuse a job offer, you can apparently lose your welfare benefits. Which is reasonable; the same is true in Belgium.
- Since 2002, prostitution is no longer illegal in Germany; prostitutes and brothel owners pay taxes like everyone else. This was done in an attempt to fight trafficking in women, which is reasonable. As a result of this, brothel owners can now send out job offers for prostitutes in exactly the same way a hospital can send out a job offer for a nurse, possibly through a job centre where unemployed people would go and ask for a job.
Now combine the above two.
