The Freakanomics of Stripping (Podcast)
ilbbaicnl
Keep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
Mostly stuff we already know, but also some interesting stuff. Small miracle he found a stripper who admits she doesn't make thousands every shift. They give an estimate of 10% for the number of clubs that went out of business because of COVID.
Not sure it was wise to talk about how vulnerable dancers are to being assaulted in VIP. A good warning to prospective or newb dancers, but bad info for the wrong type of PL to have.

This comment she makes is interesting but she doesn't elaborate, I'm wondering what she means:
> "the demographic that is becoming middle aged wants something different"
My supposition would be that MOST clubs want to operate as above board as they can, since they're all being targeted by municipalities trying to shut them down. The interesting grey area, and I have no idea how this works legally speaking: if you're only hiring people as Independent Contractors (ICs), whose job is it to check the immigration documentation?
I would love to learn more about this.
But dancers aren't employees, they're ICs. So who would even be checking their documentation?

But with that aside, I'm curious because with all the zealotry around mass deportations right now, I'm wondering how that's going to affect the clubs and Cubanas we all love.
>laugh at the suggestion that cocaine was the most illegal
>thing happening in the back rooms of clubs.
ha, that made me laugh too. though i suppose she couldn't mention how often ropes of cum were being shot at her face back there. it's a family show.
I can't really reason in my mind, that a dancer's behavior is more like an employee than like an independent contractor. Are the clubs going to have different tiers of sexual services? "Gracie, grade one employee, blowjobs only, anywhere in club. Savannah, promoted to full service, but only in Champagne Room. Used condoms exchanged for service tickets at desk in women's dressing room lobby."
I agree w RonJax that it's a dumb system to have the employer be the cop -- that's a direct conflict of his interest, because on the one hand he wants the most labor for the least price, whereas on the other hand the government is also demanding of him that he increase his own cost by seeking out, finding, and rejecting groups of applicants who would be more likely to have lower price. We do this mixed-messages thing with a lot of regulation, can't really figure out ideal solutions for each situation. I don't want the Nuclear Power industry to have literally no police except the Federal policing authorities, but I also don't trust them and market-pressures alone to self-regulate.
I believe strip clubs just have to ensure the independent contractors (aka dancers) they use are at least 18. Since independent contractors are responsible for paying their own taxes and don't receive any benefits from the club nor an hourly wage (they actually pay the club for the privilege of working there) there is no reason for the club to require anything beyond something that states the dancers age.
