This was in the Miami Herald this morning. Interesting concept for the US but years behind CR where hiring a "full service" live-in housekeeper has been a regular practice for years.

I thought that we paid them to go away, not to live with us!!! :lol:

And of course, they call it exploitation, like somebody is holding a fucken gun to their heads. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement. The guy gets his chores done and his more basic needs attended to and the girl gets a place to live and some dough. If they don't like it, they can go out and get a job. GOD FORBID!!!

Let me see the United States hailed as the land of the free. How free is this when the article says laws concerning prostitution, Federal housing laws, laws against discrimination are all being violated by this concept.

And of course womens groups find women are being "exploited", "marginalized" and the concept is "offensive", "disturbing"and fostering "institutional inequities" and "harmful attitudes".

Every morning I wake up and say I am so glad I live in Costa Rica. :lol:
