Yep, politics is bullish for prostitution.

Everything is bullish for prostitution. It’s called the oldest profession for a reason.
Catastrophic climate change would cause an upswing in prostitution, insofar as any time there is any change adversely affecting the poor and those close to subsistence living you will always see new workers entering the sex trade. Primarily women and children.
Most likely it would also cause a severe uptick in rape as well— anything that causes displacements of large groups of people always has a rise in rape and sexual assault in its wake.
