What you mean: “Stop”? Many of them would be volunteering to participate!
Good article.
For $2.6 million, I’d be happy to personally teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink more responsibly. Heck, I’ll even provide the drinks.
I’ll be happy to study their failure to stop studying such things. I’ll work from home or other remote locations like beaches or ski resorts (saves them the cost of an office for me), 30 hours a week, 48 weeks a year and only want $100K a year plus the same benefit package the congress has. I’m cheap at the price!
What do Chinese prostitutes call 69?
Stopping would reduce the size of government and therefore cut into their power. No for them always better to make fun and pretend to be concerned while they double-down on yet another wasteful expenditure of taxpayer money.

Some studies which have been criticized do have genuine scientific or economic benefits. But someone who wants to study prostitutes, gay or otherwise, in a foreign country IMHO most likely just wants their travel and lifestyle to be subsidized by the taxpayer. Why are these grants approved? The people doing the approving must be corrupt themselves.
Why does US government have something against drunk Chinese whores?
