motorheadFat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
The mainstream media never challenges those on the left, so they don’t need to understand their talking points or defend their positions. Basically, it’s like an athlete who doesn’t train.
Biden got away with it by hiding in his basement. I guess it was a winning strategy for him.

If you’ve not read about the real estate scam that was Wework, I encourage you to look it up. They promised to change the world, while running a classic Ponzi scheme.

A lot of these tech companies existed based on their hype but never made money. The day of reckoning is here. Lots of woke, high-paid employees being laid off. Stock price plummeting. The emperor has no clothes.

I’ve enjoyed newbie dancers at times simply because I get a laugh out of their cluelessness. Also, it feels more real than the programmed response from experienced dancers.
Despite that, experienced is better in general.

It’s possible to have a friendly relationship with a dancer. But, don’t delude yourself that money has nothing to do with it. Repeat these words. It’s a business relationship. It’s a business relationship. As long as you realize that, things won’t get weird.

This thread has given me a great idea. I think color television is excessive. I much prefer the simple and pure image of black and white television. I’m going to buy a manufacturing facility and begin making black and white TVs. I know there is a huge market for that. I’ll make a fortune.

The main mistake that Platinum Plus made was thinking that the 1980s model of a business man’s club still worked. Back then, sales guys could treat their customers to a night of naughty fun as a way of bonding and closing the deal. That was back before the age of “ me too” and a woke culture. That model no longer works.
Those clubs gave an elite appearance with lots of flash and sizzle and exactly the level of contact you describe. And, they’ve all gone out of business.
Beyond that, treating dancers to full benefits, full time payroll, advancing rent, etc is clearly something dancers would like. That’s something any mediocre sales person would like because they wouldn’t need to produce results to earn a living.

The reason that greens do what greens do is supposedly to protect the environment. Nuclear energy is clean as hell. It’s never made sense to me that greens oppose it, unless their real goal is something other than a clean environment and an end to carbon-based climate change.

Long term, I’m intrigued by Nuclear Fusion. That’s what powers the Sun. Scientists have managed to generate it in the lab but no one has developed a practical, large scale way of using it. If they ever do, that’s a clear solution. And, it’s clean. It would generate far more power than current nuclear fission plants.

I suspect that club would be available in Phoenix. It’s now called Platinum Plus. It’s a gorgeous club that cost millions to build. Their target market was the same “elite” customer you would target.
It went bankrupt and sat empty for years. It’s now been reopened for a couple years and struggles to attract both dancers and customers.
The core problem is a misunderstanding of who spends big money in a club. Yes, it’s the well-to-do who are big spenders but calling them them “elite” makes it sound like they want caviar, champagne and eye-candy rather than contact.
As exhibit one, look at Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots who was caught in a non-elite massage parlor.
If someone wants pretty girls who don’t rub against you, that market is already served. It’s called Hooters.

The first rule of starting a business is “ give the customer what they want”.
There have been plenty of strip clubs started where someone with more money than sense designed a club meant to serve the desires of exactly one customer, the owner. And, that’s about how many customers the club attracts.

From 1900 to today, the world population grew from 1.4 Billion to 8 Billion, while reducing the rate of absolute poverty and starvation. This was only possible because of fossil fuels. It was fossil fuels that provided the energy to grow and transport food.
You can’t suddenly stop using fossil fuels and still feed 8 Billion people.
Wind, solar, hydro, and geo energy will never provide enough energy to power a modern economy for 8 Billion people.
Maybe, just maybe, nuclear could largely replace fossil fuels. But, it will take 50 or 100 years. You’ve got to have that in place before you try and shut down fossil fuels. Otherwise, bad things happen.

I think it is possible to have a good relationship with a stripper but it needs to be based in reality. You treat them with respect and pay them consistently. She appreciates the money, and positive attitude, and provides you with good service. It’s not love but it’s mutual respect and appreciation. Maybe there is a little fantasy romance as well, as long as you don’t confuse that with love. That works for me.
