Here’s the wiki summary of how many millionaires ( net worth ) there are. The most interesting perspective is on a city by city basis. For example, Dallas has 300,000 millionaires. I don’t know how many of them regularly go to strip clubs but it’s easy to imagine that 100 or 200 of these 300,000 are visiting the handful of upscale clubs in the city on any given day.

I lived in Southern California for several years. When times were good, the Mercedes dealers and private lunch clubs were over run with Realtors and mortgage brokers. When the economy went south, those places were like ghost towns.
If the economy turns ( further ) south, I expect strip clubs nationwide will lose all the realtors, luxury car salesmen, and various salesmen. That’s a big chunk of their customer base no matter how many retired millionaires still go clubbing.

There are a lot of people in America with a net worth between $1 Million and $10 Million. At least a couple million people. That translates into an annual income between $100,000 and $500,000. For most of them, they’ve accumulated that money over a period of years. A lot of those people are engineers. A lot of them are small business owners. Nearly all of them live life in a way that hides their wealth. I’ll bet some of our TUSCL members are in this category.
On the other hand, there are millions of people who lead lives that would make you think they made $350,000 per year, while actually making a fraction of that and swimming in debt. They, too, are represented on TUSCL.

Incidentally, if we are going to reduce our carbon footprint, and expand EVs, nuclear needs to be a big part of the solution. That’s the only realistic way to increase electrical capacity without carbon.
The technology for nuclear safety has improved dramatically sine the bad old days of three mile island, but it’s reputation hasn’t improved accordingly.

Yes. Dozens of studios around Fillis. A bare white bulb indicates they are open for business. Assembly line sex. About as cold and mechanical as possible.

The Chinese are using older/simpler battery technology. Not as good, but much cheaper and not as reliant on rare earth metals. That’s one of the reasons they will have EVs closer to $30,000.
Battery warranties tend to be 7 years. That’s probably a good estimate of expected life.

I’ve read a lot of articles drawing parallels between EVs and other technology, like when the PC and the smart phone were introduced. The pattern is always the same. Sales are slow and only early adopters but them but then prices come down as volume increases and the demand skyrockets almost overnight.

The conventional wisdom is that we will turn some sort of corner, maybe a sudden jump in battery technology, and there will be far more demand for EVs than can be met. For a period of years, there will be far more capacity for Combustion Engine production than we need, and far less production of EVs than needed to meet demand. When it happens, it will happen fast. That mismatch could put a lot of car companies out of business.

There are several huge EV car makers in China that are going to enter the US car market in the next 12 months. They will undercut everyone on price. It could be a game changer. Suddenly, EVs will be available at the price of ICE vehicles.

In part, it probably has to do with local regulations, visibility to the public, and level of enforcement. There is different treatment for strip clubs with liquor licenses, nude clubs, Jack shacks, massage parlors with the occasional handjob, and massage parlors that are full on brothels.
I’m guessing that smaller massage parlors have the best chance of flying under the radar.

The strip clubs in the tourist areas of Athens are rip off joints. Stay away.
Most people looking for fun in Athens would head to the small studios around Fillis Street. If the white light is on, they are open for business. It used to be 20 Euros for a quickie. Many Eastern European providers. There are other areas of Athens where they have white light studios but Fillis is the main one.
Athens also has an active outcall escort trade plus some massage parlors.

Yeah, over the years I’ve seen a lot of pro athletes plus a rock star and a billionaire in Phoenix strip clubs during the day. Maybe the daytime customers in Phoenix have an atypical demographic.

In my experience, the typical daytime customer is older, comfortable financially, and is there for the full dance experience. Figure $300+.
The typical night time customer is younger and wants to give the impression of being well off financially while spending as little as possible. Figure $100. More looking than touching but being loud about it.
The 80/20 rule applies. About 80% of customers, day and night, fit these profiles.

As predicted, the Waukesha mass murder has been sent down the memory hole of journalism and social media.
As soon as it was revealed that the Waukesha mass murderer was a black career criminal who hated white people, it was a no-brainer to state that the huge story would fade from view as quickly as possible and that any reference to it would eliminate the perpetrator as much as possible.
For a year, we were fed media lies about Kyle Rittenhouse and his imagined racism ( for shooting 3 white people who attacked him). However, career criminal Darrell Brook mowed down over 40 white grandmas and high school kids and the media lost any interest in the story within hours.

ilbbaicnlKeep 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.
Here’s the missing piece. People who have had CoVid are MUCH better protected than those who simply got the vaccine. So, why would the government require them to be vaccinated ?

Years ago, I got a call from an out-of-state homicide detective. What did I know about so-and-so and her murder ? Why was I in her address book ?
After 5 minutes of grilling me, he read me the phone number from the address book. He had misdialed.

From the SS govt website
Use of the SSN in State drivers license systems is already authorized by Federal law, and 29 States currently use the SSN as the drivers license number or show it on the license. The 1996 immigration reform provision on improved identification-related documents requires the SSN to be included on State drivers licenses by the year 2000. Thus, the drivers license and Social Security card can both be used to verify the SSN.

From the NYPost
The ex-con charged over the deaths of six people at a Wisconsin Christmas parade shared social media posts calling for violence against white people — and suggesting “Hitler was right” for killing Jews.
Darrell Brooks Jr. — who has a decades-long rap sheet — shared a series of disturbing memes and messages on social media, most of which have been deleted since his arrest for Sunday’s deadly carnage.

Elections pivot on how suburban mom’s vote. If they think something, or someone, is threatening their children’s safety and well being, they are an unbeatable force. In 2020, they were convinced Covid was the biggest threat and they voted accordingly. In 2022, the two most important issues in national elections will be inflation and law and order. In local elections, the schools will be the biggest issue.

I remember reading a study a long time ago. People who viewed marriage as the end goal tended to stay married. You know, the “ for better or worse” crowd. People who viewed marriage as something to do as long as it was to their benefit almost always eventually got divorced. Makes sense. There will come a time in all marriages when being married sucks.
You ask how to know when it’s time to divorce. Half the country ( or maybe less ) would answer “ never”. Half the country ( or maybe more ) would answer “ when you would be happier not being married “.
Which half are you ?

There is legislation proposed in Congress, being supported by “ the squad”, that would set a goal of emptying federal prisons within 10 years. Literally. No one, no matter the crime, would go to prison on federal crimes.
What could possibly go wrong ?

A lot of the stupid money that is spent in clubs is used to impress the dancers or other customers. I’d rather fly under the radar, develop a few favorites, and enjoy myself paying market rates.
