When I pay for pornography, I:
1) Don't want to have a monthly subscription
2) Want to be able to download and own what I buy
3) Want to be able to be selective
4) Want the artist to be able to make something once that they can continue to profit off of rather than constant live streams

Do sex workers get $5B too?
Trump has reportedly sued Chase bank and its CEO for $5B, accusing the megabank of "debanking" him.
As he pursues a lawsuit that could only benefit him, Trump's administration has effectively shut down the agency that was trying to rein in debanking for the benefit of all US consumers:

Kacsmaryk uses FSC v Paxton to argue that a campus drag ban — in an indoor venue for college students! — is constitutional because a minor *might* be present on campus and the performance *might* involve prosthetic breasts.
