drewcareypnwnot the real drew carey, but I play him at strip clubs...
I'll try and answer.
Illegal immigration is a net financial loss for the country since they use more services than they pay in direct and indirect taxes although in certain industries the prices will certainly rise. However, as we saw last time the tightening labor market will bring in those not currently in it. This reduces price pressure and removes people from the welfare state. It's a net win, albeit with some significant variations by sector.
Tariffs are iffy, but as mentioned Trump uses them as a bargaining chip. They are also very valuable in efforts to protect militarily vital supply chains. The net result is higher prices, but there is a reasonable argument for it.
Regulation is the big one. Biden added a 1.7 trillion regulatory burden during the past four years. Removing just those is a huge jump in efficiency. A lot of those savings will be captured by the corporations, but a significant amount will reach us.
In short, #1 mild to moderately deflationary, 2 inflationary, 3 strongly deflationary.
Add to that higher domestic energy production and prices drop.

rickthelionStraight outta tha NC, comin' atcha with an AK ready to steal your daughter. ROAR!!!
The real question is to what extent the polls are skewed and in which direction. A 2020 style miss means Trump wins easily. Closer to 2022 and it's a legitimate toss up. There are indicators that support either candidate winning, but I'd call it 60/40 for Trump

Didn't the incendiary casings say "for Palestine?" I doubt those are MAGA types, but there is a lot of antifa in those areas. Oscams razor.

I'm getting tired of the whole 2025 thing. It's a scare tactic, but it seems to fool a lot of people. The actual project 2025 is a white paper from a conservative think tank. It's no different from what pretty much everything tank on both sides does. It's a wishlist from that particular group and nothing else. Support or oppose Trump, the Project 2025 is just a scare tactic.

Cubans all charge $20, at least if you speak Spanish.

Last time I was there she did something similar. Hustled me to cover her dance charge and was pissed and called me cheap after I didn't tip extra for her lame air dance

Was at a place recently where they put on mariachi music. I think the little guy inverted during the song

I'm reminded of the club in nowhereville South Dakota that charged 50 per dance.
Wrong location, wrong dancers.

Drinks are 7 beer 10 shots, 4 coke.
Lds at 20 each although some American dancers charge 25 or 30.

During pheasant season there are a lot of wealthy men on vacation for a week. Dancers I know that have done it liked the pay. The other big draw is Sturgis, which starts this week. Over 500k bikers come in and there is a lot of money flowing.

Interesting experience. I've never had a cuban overcount there and under count a fee times, never been asked for more than 20 either. I wonder if it because I speak Spanish.

I've met a number of dancers I consider friends. As long as we keep business and friendship separate, I've had no trouble. I don't give out cash and make that clear if it comes up.

I'm pro cuban. I think cabanas are generally more attractive than many other Latin countries, yes we all have our types. I speak Spanish and so conversation is easy although some dialect issues pop up. In my experience, the Cubans count dances fairly and don't inflate prices. One of my go tos is happy to have me put fingers everywhere and will reciprocate. A $10 tip is more than enough for her. My one complaint is that they are not good on the pole and in my local club will rarely strip on stage.
My ideal club would be half cuban and half American

I've made a number of friends there, and I speak Spanish. The girls keep a fair count, I always pay at the end, and about 1/3 to 1/2 will work you good otp as part of the dance, no tip expected. For fun beyond that there are some willing and an extra 20 or 40 goes a long way.

Iknow,
I'd say about 1/3 were dance worthy, but I already have 5 dancers that I get dances from regularly there so I didn't say yes to any new ones

In my experience, I'd say 15% hate, 50+ dislike, 20% are neutral and the remainder "like" but in most cases like means pleasantly disposed towards, not actually friends or romantic interests. I think that is rare.

Was there for a wet tshirt contest a couple of years ago. There is a local university and so most of the 5 or 6 contestants were college aged. Girls were pretty cute, about on par with the normal dancers, and some got into it. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, but it was fun.
