“Just give me enough money to make it worth my time and have some etiquette, “
Agree. I try to make sure that I treat my faves in a polite and friendly manner while always spending a reasonable amount every time. I’d like to think that my faves spot me and immediately think “ there’s someone who will treat me well while I make good money”. In return, I get prompt and enjoyable service.
Though, if you were to survey every dancer in the club, most would claim I never spend money (…..on them).

It seems to me, a lot of the veteran dancers have much in common. They stay fit and seem to have a healthy lifestyle. They easily carry on conversation and read people well. I get the impression they manage their money well ( though there’s no way I can really know that ). They know a lot of enjoyable dance techniques and can quickly judge which works best with each client. They play the long game and are willing to invest some time to establish a relationship. They have a positive attitude. They remember names and faces. They provide value for the money and never overcount dances. They don’t waste time chatting with other dancers on the floor.
Their customers tend to be older, though not necessarily old. Many of the dancers have an established group of customers and can make money efficiently by focusing on regulars.

I’m representative of the older and, let’s say, financially comfortable customers. I stayed away from clubs until I got vaccinated. After that, I returned to clubbing but less frequently. It wasn’t CoVid that kept me away but the fact that all my favorite dancers were gone.
I prefer seeing a few reliable dancers rather than sorting through a new group of fatties and hustlers each time I visit. I suspect a lot of middle age and older customers have the same preference. We don’t have the patience to put up with stripper shit.
I spend consistently and fairly if the service is good. I don’t throw money around at just the sight of every pair of titties. That’s one way to stay financially comfortable.

“Pretending old men are all wealthy”
You need to take a logics class. My claim is that “many of the wealthy are old”. That is a very different statement from “old men are all wealthy”.
Also, I don’t contend that clubs are “filled with millionaires.” But, I do contend that there are enough old millionaires around that they are among the people going to strip clubs. And, the customers most likely to spend freely.

Any NFL team without a young, athletic QB and an innovative offensive coordinator, must be rethinking everything. The era of the drop back pocket passer is dead.

There are 20,000,000 millionaires in the US and 800 billionaires. A lot of these, probably most of them, are old guys.
If memory serves, there are about 1,000 strip clubs reviewed on TUSCL. So, there are 20,000 millionaires and one billionaire for every club in America.

Update: Ireland has just announced that all CoVid restrictions ( masks, vaccines, social distancing ) will end on Sunday. Regular life returns.

CoVid has run its course in the UK and they have dropped all their vaccine mandates and mask requirements. Statistically, we are 2-3 weeks behind the UK in terms of new CoVid cases. The numbers have already peaked, especially on the East coast, and should soon plunge.
Will our government follow the lead of the UK and let us return to normal next month ? I have my doubts.

Here’s a lot more detail on how the ID verification works. Not good.

The theory behind the IRS is a good one. Let’s prevent fraud.
The problem is with the execution. I’ve had issues connecting with government websites in the past. When you hit a glitch, there is no recourse. If the data you enter doesn’t exactly match their database ( sometimes a formatting mistake ), that’s it. Dead end. When trying to communicate with the IRS, that’s a problem.

“ No one gives a fuck about your q anon tinfoil hat “
I read a lot of conservative websites. I have never read anything about, or from, someone or something called QAnon. The only time I see that term is when someone on the left wants to discredit something on the right. I don’t think QAnon exists anywhere except in the head of lefties.

The problem isn’t with the theory but with the execution. To prevent DUI, LE will be given a back door to shut down any car for any reason it seems appropriate. Unpaid tickets. Suspected of a crime. Pissed off a cop. The list goes on.

Yes, because whenever government grants itself emergency ( non constitutional ) powers to avert some crisis, they always quickly end these powers as soon as the crisis passes. And, the government never abuses these powers.
Now, show me your papers, take this injection, and stop posting misinformation. Because, crisis.

Here’s another one:
the IRS announced that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log into irs.gov will be through ID.me. The company has evolved to providing online ID verification services which several states are using to help reduce unemployment and pandemic-assistance fraud. The company claims to have 64 million users.
The process of verification is lengthy and requires proving a scan of drivers license, phone number, utility records, and facial recognition. All of this data will be verified against data maintained by the government.
Unless you successfully execute this verification, you won’t be able to contact the IRS about any issues.
Again, I’m sure this will all go smoothly and the data provided won’t be misused.

An investigation into a club can take months and many thousands of dollars of LE time. Somebody up the food chain in LE has to really want to send a message to pull the trigger on an investigation. Typically, it’s because a neighborhood group,or major donor, has put the pressure on.
A couple years ago, an investigation into a club in Scottsdale fell apart when a dancer claimed LE touched her inappropriately. People had to resign and charges were dropped. The officer involved was named and shamed.

“The term is also applied to the cultural, political, economic, or legal institutions and systems in the USA that engage in or perpetuate discrimination on the basis of race (color)“
The two institutions that most blatantly treat people differently based on race are the US government and universities.

Naming and shaming your doctor in a public forum when he controls what medical treatment you get.
Do you expect to get better, or worse, treatment once someone forwards this thread to him ? Just asking.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the first EV that doesn’t seem like a gimmick. Attractive, roomy, with good enough range and power. Starting at $40,000 ( $32,500 net of tax credit ). They’ll sell as fast as they can make them.

Trust the data !
A document issued issued Jan 6 by the US Health and Human Services tells hospitals they are no longer required to report daily COVID-19 deaths to the federal government starting Feb 2.
In March, we’ll be told deaths are down. It’s all thanks to the wise experts in the federal government. We’re from the government. Trust us.

America is probably the least racist country in the world. Anyone who has experienced other cultures first hand would realize that. The only people who think the opposite are products of the safe spaces of our modern indoctrination camps called universities.
