“The 900,000 American deaths from Covid…”
First off, those were people who died “with CoVid”, not necessarily “from CoVid”. The average person who died was 82 years old and had 4 co-morbidities like COPD and Congestive Heart Failure. Did CoVid push them them over the edge leading to death ? Absolutely in many ( but not all ) cases. That’s also true with seasonal flus every year.
And, it’s true that the “vaccine” saved many lives of the old and infirm. But, we were also told that the vaccine would prevent future infection and lead to herd immunity. We know that was a lie.
We were also told that 2 weeks of lockdown ( which morphed into 2 years ) would stop the spread. That turned out to be a lie that destroyed millions of lives.

That’s similar to what Socialists say when confronted with the fact that Socialism has never worked. The standard response is that true Socialism has never been tried. Socialism will work if anyone tries it full on.

Strip clubs sell fantasy and entertainment. That’s the dancer’s job.
If that’s what you are interested in, and you have the money, going to clubs can be a nice amusement. If you ever find that you prefer this fantasy to connecting with women in the real world, that’s when you are headed for trouble.

While we’re at it, let’s put the government in charge of all economic decisions. That worked out so well for Venezuela, Cuba, and the Soviet Union.

The last time wage and price controls were used in the US was1970. It stabilized things in the short term but had disastrous effect in the longer term.

^Ummm, no they don’t. Go read a book on economics. Pretty much any one.
No one under 55 in the US has ever experienced high inflation. You’re about to learn a tough lesson. For example, are you curious what will happen to housing prices when mortgage rates reach 7%. If you own a home now, it won’t be pretty.

Higher interest rates, and a related recession, are the only way to bring down inflation. We can avoid a recession only if we tolerate double digit inflation for the rest of our lives. Those are our only options. Personally, I prefer to endure a recession for a year rather than insane inflation for decades.

“When things really get good is during a good ol' fashioned recession.”
I think that’s where we are headed, at least for the next couple years. The Fed will tap on the breaks, causing a recession. They won’t bring rates back down until inflation is under control.
If they do it right, they will raise rates rapidly, shocking the economy. The pain will last for a year, then we’ll be out of it. More likely, they gradually raise rates, delaying the recovery

Inflation is always a monetary issue. Too much money chasing too few goods. The Fed has a choice It can either keep stimulating the economy by keeping rates low and feeding the market with cash ( which pumps up the stock market and benefits the wealthy ) or raise rates and shrink its balance sheet ( which brings down inflation and helps the working class ).
We’ll see which way it goes

Rent, food, and fuel prices are way up. There are no more enhanced unemployment, monthly child credits, or covid payments.
That means far fewer customers with extra money to spend in clubs. It means dancers will be desperate to cover their expenses.
Like all past recessions/depressions, there are opportunities for those with cash.

shailynnThey never tell you what you need to know.
Several categories represent people who have left the workforce
-Early retirees
-Mothers who left the workforce to care for young kids
- younger workers using government benefits to temporarily stop working
This has caused supply chain issues and wage inflation

I think they’ve done that during past Phoenix Open weekends.

I’m reminded of a story I read in “Going to extremes”, a book about building the Alaska pipeline. Hookers would take snow mobiles from work camp to work camp in the middle of nowhere. These guys hadn’t seen another woman for months. It would take 2 pumps before they came.

The Pandemic is over. Just look up a graph of new cases.it’s now an endemic, similar to a seasonal flu. It’s over. Kaput. Dead. Finished. Time to burn the masks.

It’s interesting to see Trudeau calling them racist terrorists, then see pictures of them setting up bouncy castles for their kids. Cognitive dissonance.

So, the Biden administration demands the DOJ and FBI investigate Trump. Again. And, again. And, again.
Meanwhile, the Chinese have given $30 Million to the Biden family which is just fine, apparently.
Is there any chance the DOJ is playing politics ?

Used to be called Minks. I remember going there about 10 years ago. Still some old reviews on TUSCL.

Did some more digging. Change of ownership and name 2 years ago. Just in time for CoVid. Identifies as black owned business. No reviews for over a year.

I’ve noticed customers spending like crazy, locking down several dancers. I’ve even seen them do that a period of a month, or two. After that, they disappear.

Way back in the day ( I was there ), HiLiter was a smaller club with far fewer customers. Parking was just fine back then. Now, they put 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound bag.
