IMHO it's a stupid system to have employers be immigration cops. Employers should be able to hire whomever they want. But with that aside, I'm curious because with all the zealotry around mass deportations right now, I'm wondering how that's going to affect the clubs and Cubanas we all love.

I also have to say this: if you're not invested in the stock market and you're voting for Trump, I have nothing but contemptuous pity for you. Trump will serve the interests of the rich, his track record demonstrates as much. If you're not rich and thing he's going to do anything to help you, you're deluded. If you think he'll do anything about income inequality, you're deluded. If you're not rich and voting for Trump you're basically a tool for the corporate elite. Nice job.

Inflation has definitely been a bad thing for this country. One of the primary drivers of this inflation was Trumps massive deficit spending. Even before the pandemic started he already ran up a huge tab cutting taxes on the rich. And then it was game over once Trump's pandemic spending started. That god we put Biden in office to fix the problem. What I'm wondering is, why do Trumpsters hate American so much? They hate economic growth. They hate a booming stock market, and have been rooting for it's failure for 4 years. They hate immigration, even though most are descendants of immigrants. They fly the flag upside down, a sign of great disrespect. They attack our institutions. They attack our elections. They hate our free press. Why don't you guys just move to Russia?

Very stable genius at work, watch out

It's funny until they start passing laws and shit

My understanding was all businesses were required to check I-9s. Even if you're subject to E-verify requirements, you still have to collect an I-9 for every employee and verify they have documentation that establishes their identity and documentation that establishes their right to work. But dancers aren't employees, they're ICs. So who would even be checking their documentation?

I'm interested to learn more about the immigration situation. Leila mentions you need an SSN to work at a club but your immigration status does not need to be "solid." My supposition would be that MOST clubs want to operate as above board as they can, since they're all being targeted by municipalities trying to shut them down. The interesting grey area, and I have no idea how this works legally speaking: if you're only hiring people as Independent Contractors (ICs), whose job is it to check the immigration documentation? I would love to learn more about this.

One claim in here is that during the pandemic, SC customers flocked to only fans. That wasn't the case for me. I don't think I've ever even been on the site.

This is interesting content, thanks for posting. I'm halfway through it now. This comment she makes is interesting but she doesn't elaborate, I'm wondering what she means: > "the demographic that is becoming middle aged wants something different"

^ Dammit and I typed it wrong twice now. DEVALUING THE DOLLAR WOULD BE INFLATIONARY is what I meant.

I've never been clubbing in ATL. If it is indeed better than Pompano Beach I need to put it on the bucket list.

Beshear doesn't have the name recognition outside of KY, and he's unlikely to make KY competitive in a general election. Shapiro and Whitmer would both be really smart choices. I think this election will be decided by the whether the Dems hold the blue wall of WI, MI, and PA. I lean towards Whitmer on this, I think she's better known and I think two women wielding the Roe cannon this election would be better than one.

^ I hope Republicans continue this line of attack. To defeat Trump, we need to drive dem turnout amongst black and AAPI voters, and that rhetoric from the GOP will be tremendously helpful to that end.

@Mate27 > RonJax, I’m sure you meant devaluing the dollar would be inflatuonary, rather than deflationary. YES, thank you for the correction. I typed the wrong thing, devaluing the dollar would indeed be deflationary. So would the GOP's proposed mass deportation program. Not to mention the human rights disaster it would cause, and the heartache it would cause on TUSCL when all of our favorite Cubana dancers are disappeared into the night. > To be fair, politicians lobe to spend $$ and Biden's inflation reductiom act added the same amount to our total debt adding fuel to the fire of inflation. The inflation reduction act reduced the deficit by $238 billion. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/cbo-scores-ira-238-billion-deficit-reduction In the scheme of the trillions of dollars spent during the pandemic (mostly under Trump) it's a drop in the bucket. But it's better than nothing. If we don't want to default on our debt or pay higher taxes (and I certainly don't want either of those things) someone is going to need to touch the 3rd rail of politics here and start cutting entitlements.

I predict he doesn't debate her because he's a chickenshit three time loser.

> Spending under Biden has been greater than that under Trump. You're quite misinformed here. Quit watching Fox News. Trump grew the deficit twice as much as Biden did. https://www.crfb.org/papers/trump-and-biden-national-debt

Yes, we'll have to deal with continued decreasing crime, a booming stock market, and the sustained economic growth we've enjoyed under the Biden administration. As far as my finances go, I'm most concerned about the Trump-Vance plan to devalue the dollar, which would be hugely deflationary and devastate my own finances (as it would for most of the middle class.) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/16/us/politics/trump-vance-us-dollar.html

Nice Review, keep 'em coming, I can't wait to see where your Euro travels take you next.

^ Wow, it's going to suck when your senile old candidate loses to her then, isn't it.

No thanks dog

> Kamala Harris, running fifth in her home state presidential primary will save us. Kamala ran 5th in her home state because at that point in the race she had already dropped out to endorse Biden you fucking Fox-news-repeating-dolt. But if we're keeping track of home states, Kamala did win a statewide election in California. Trump can't even carry his home state. He's never won the popular vote in a national election. He's lost the GOP 3 elections in a row now. And he's about to lose them a 4th. It turns out that christian nationalism, ending a woman's right to choose, mass deportations, and trying to overturn elections is not that popular with the American people. I'm so excited to see him defeated a 4th time in a row, so that this cult-of-personality can end, and maybe we can get back to having two competitive and democratic political parties of substance, instead of one party full of neo-fascist losers.

Speaking of lawfare, here’s Kamala destroying Trump’s attorney general Bill Barr: https://youtu.be/bHd_UlebyoM I can’t wait to see her filet Trump in the September debate. (Assuming Trump doesn’t drop out because he’s a chickenshit.)

I can’t watch this because I’m too busy laughing at the irony of your word salad of a title. And your failure to even understand the fundamentals of where to post things on TUSCL.

There was talk of using the 25th on Trump at the end of his term. It was well deserved, the man is a deranged octogenarian

> That's why the left underestimates Trump, they look at his words more than his actions. Words matter and Trump is a fountain of mendaciousness.
