Accurate review.
In all the years I’ve been going to BSC, I found one dancer who offered high ( ish) mileage.
I keep going back hoping I’ll find another unicorn. Hope springs eternal.

Within weeks of CoVid reaching the US, it was obvious that healthy people under the age of 60 faced little risk. Even so, our experts forced the entire population into 2 years of isolation. Future historians will be amazed at that insanity.

Two weeks to flatten the curve became two years of don’t go to work, the government will pay for everything. Is that the pandemic mitigation you refer to ? It’s not CoVid that caused the problems we face, it’s government incompetence and over reach.

The same mentality that thinks price controls works is the mentality that thought locking down the economy and printing trillions in handouts was a brilliant move.

Oddly, I expect the large, corporate party clubs to have the toughest time. The smaller, neighborhood clubs with regular customers may find a way to survive.

The 80% of the population who live paycheck to paycheck will cut back on non essentials. They will either stop going to clubs or cut way back on their spending per visit.
The number of dancers per shift will also go down. Why pay $6 gas and tip out to sit in an empty club.
More of the club activity will be by appointment with regulars.

All of these failures can be described as unintended ( or, possibly intended ) consequences from the actions of “ experts” in our government bureaucracy.
Prevent energy production. Shut down power plants. Lock down the economy for 2 years. Fire anyone who doesn’t follow every vaccine and mask regulation. Over regulate business. Shut down schools. Delay projects for years for environmental studies. Pour trillions of dollars into the economy, rewarding people who don’t work.
Then, claim the consequences are “unexpected” and blame Putin.

Then, this fall, we’ll discover the impact of fertilizer shortage. Much of our fertilizer relies on natural gas for manufacturing. The shortage and inflation of natural gas has resulted in shortage and inflation of fertilizer. We won’t know what impact this will have on food levels until after the summer harvest.

Here’s yet another threat coming this summer. Tens of millions of Americans could be thrown into a summer of hell as a megadrought, heatwaves, and reduced power generation could trigger widespread rolling electricity blackouts from the Great Lakes to the West Coast, according to Bloomberg, citing a new report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a regulatory body that manages grid stability.
Fossil fuel plants have been shut down and replaced by hydro-electric, solar, and wind plants. These renewable sources are unable to provide the same volume and consistency of power generating. The drought has effected hydro. Supply chain has prevented new solar. There simply isn’t enough capacity while fossil fuel plants are abandoned.

A baby died of an infection. It had used several different types of formula over a period of months, including one from Abbot. Baby formula was just one possible way the infection might have been transmitted.
In reaction, the FDA shut down the largest manufacturer of formula for several months. During this time, various tests failed to link the infection to Abbot.
In the name of protecting children, every infant in America was put at risk.

Price controls are about as effective as it would be to try and legislate gravity. The law of supply and demand can’t be legislated away.
The current milk formula shortage is just one more example of government trying regulate the market and screwing things up.
The inflation disaster is entirely caused by government meddling in the economic cycle.
Government isn’t the solution, it’s the problem.

Do you know how bad this could get ? Look at Sri Lanka right now. An entire country is out of food and gas. Riots are burning the country down. Armageddon.
Things may get very, very bad even in the US.

In their earnings report, Target and Walmart talked about a massive increase in their inventory of electronic goods, exercise equipment, etc. The only thing selling well is food and other daily essentials.
What does this mean ? The consumer has decided to stop spending money on discretionary goods and services. That’s going to lead to large layoffs in many industries. For those who still have jobs, they’ll find bargains.
Things are about to get much worse. Across the earth.
When will it end ? Ask Joe Biden how much longer he’s going to ban oil drilling, writing new regulations, and bringing in millions of immigrants to take American jobs.

If the left wrote The Emperor's New Clothes, the kid who correctly pointed out that the Emperor was naked would be the bad guy.
If they wrote The Grasshopper and the Ants, the ants would be the bad guys.
If they wrote The Three Little Pigs, the pig who worked hard and
built the sturdy brick house would be the bad guy.
If they wrote The Little Red Hen, the hen would be the villian.

My concern is that, even if the Dems are swept out of Congress, there is little Congress will be able to do to improve things while Biden is in office. Two and a half more years of record inflation ? Scary.

There are reports that gas stations are modifying their pumps in anticipation of gas prices above $10.

“I guess that depends on what you consider "relatively little money."
$25,000
Enough to pay RE taxes ( at least in AZ), food, utilities, medical copays, car insurance, gas ( if you don’t drive much ).
Now, if you want to golf, ski, vacation, cruise, enjoy fine dining, theater, etc you’ll need 3 or 4 times that.

Like many things, cleaning up 90% of the environment is doable for a developed country. Cleaning up the last 1% is infinitely costly. I think we’re at about 95% clean in the US. Good enough for me.

If you have a house and car paid for, no consumer debt, and a way to get medical insurance, it’s possible to retire on relatively little money. After taking car of these essentials, most of what is left is discretionary spending.

Target and Walmart stocks drop on disappointing revenue numbers. That’s a clear sign that consumers are cutting back. Recession is here.

Here’s another government caused economic disaster looming. The Federal Reserve owns $2.7 Trillion of mortgages. It bought a lot of these in the last couple years to stimulate the economy by keeping mortgage rates artificially low. That’s the primary reason that home prices got so high in the last couple years.
Now, they need to get all this debt off their books. But, if they sell these mortgages, rates will skyrocket and real estate prices will crash.

When JFK was assassinated, Democrats and the media blamed it on a culture of right wing hate in Texas even though Lee Harvey Oswald was an avowed communist.
The Unibomber’s manifesto borrowed heavily from Al Gore’s environmental screeds but he was labeled a right wing nut.
When the Oklahoma City bombing happened, Bill Clinton blamed Rush Limbaugh.
When Gabby Gifford was shot, the media bizarrely blamed Sarah Palin even though the shooter was mentally ill.
Never let a crisis, or a tragedy, go to waste.

Here’s how ICEE logic works
The Congressional shooter a couple years ago was hard left wing
ICEE is also hard left wing
Therefore, ICEE believes in killing Trump supporters
