I feel like that's a loaded sentence. Most businesses are "unregulated but legal", running a grocery store can be considered "unregulated but legal"



That's exactly what I was getting at. If they're following the catch-all employment laws and not causing big problems specific to their type of business why would anyone care enough to give them special regulatory attention?


Groceries are regulated in most counties. You can’t just start selling expired food, or food without any known provenance.

For sex work, some regulation would be a good thing. At they very least requiring condoms when the couple isn’t married (and are untested for STIs) would be a start.
