Earlier this year, when tax-refund checks including that extra $600 "stimulus" had begun to arrive in people's mailboxes, porn businesses (especially for-pay internet sites) were reporting large spikes in revenue.

Apparently, a certain percentage of any "bailout" cash, issued out to any segment of the population, is going to pass through the hands of Joe the Jerkoff and end up in the coffers of porn purveyors.

The rest of us should enjoy such economic security!

Actually, hard times (pun intended) shouldn't hurt the skin-image trade at all. If people can't afford to go out into the world in pursuit of actual interpersonal sex, a good number of 'em will probably stay home alone, sit at their computers, and send off virtual cash for solo stimulation ~ as long as their credit cards are not completely maxed out, and as long as they remain able to type one-handed.
