Not so much actual prostitutes, but on the same status level. Rent-seekers with no real successes

Excuse me, but artisans and prostitutes are not "rent seekers" but actually valuable members of society. Artisans produce artwork that their patron finds enjoyable. IOn the case of prostitutes, substitute "orgasm" for "artwork" in the previous sentence.

"Rent seekers" are those who collect money but don't really produce anything. Patent holders. Licensors. Landlords. People on a disability pension, like me.
