Is the Top for Strip Club Mongers In?
Saturday, October 4, 2014 5:32 AM
Notwithstanding all the calculated doom and gloom in the financial media which is really misinformation that is calculated and allowed to spread unchecked until it has served its purpose one way, the world and the US, in particular seem to me to be just at the beginning of an economic boom that will easily be the greatest in word history.
Now I have said before that there seem to be four primary factors that have lead to the extreme whore-house-ifcation of strip clubs starting about the middle of last decade. One is economics, the second is the rise of hip hop, the third is the rise of the internet, and the fourth is generational attitudes towards sex. I think all have been approximately equally important, but economics has the big difference of affecting the other three (with the internet positively affecting the economy in return in a virtuous cycle between them).
As the economy starts to boom, it will be interesting to see if hip-hop (already very watered down from its origins to the extent that it is now just "pop") continues to be the most popular genre of music. More importantly, it will be interesting to watch how rising wealth affects the attitudes of young women toward whoring.
I think the net effect for strip club mongers will be net negative, however. Especially since with things in a nearly perfect state for our side right now, how it could it go up any higher?
Right now there are just signs of it, but it will pick up. The more easily the money flows the more advantage the pink side has. Around 2000 was probably their peak of power. The less easily the money is flowing the more the blue side has the advantage. But our peak of power was probably just recently.
I don't think it will get even close to as bad as 2000 and it will take time but in some places it already is that bad now. Also I expect the changes to be uneven. Liberal social attitudes will gain more footing in Red states which is good for us, but increasing general wealth of people overall works against us. Probably the former will be most important in some areas at first, but the increase in wealth will win out in the end - it's just a matter of quickly that happens relative to our own lifespans.
Not saying all this happens tomorrow, or even over the year, but I am saying it will get increasingly noticeable now and that the top is already in.
