I guess people can't afford to blow their money anymore. Everybody's getting screwed...or not.

It is said that the top two businesses that do well year round, in a good or a bad economy, are bars and hairstyling schools.

I wonder what percentage of all new jobs created are prostitutes.

 

[Unkotare]

From the article it seems the industry does go down sometimes, and if you're not careful you'll be fucking left out. I imagine it's a tough line of work to get into at first. Maybe with the right connections new workers can get in the back door. But with no retirement plan to speak of, when you get too old the work dries up and you are just fucking done.

You seem to know a lot about this stuff.

I'll bet online porn is way up. Maybe the working girls need to go into pictures.

If businesses paid decent money, so that so many Americans weren't in extreme poverty, then it wouldn't be so bad as it is. Or are we meant to believe the 'job creator', 'trickle down', 'lower tax', 'no regulations' myths still; even though the recession was caused by the same BS the right wing is still pushing.

Prostitution should be legal and taxed, the same as drugs.

Ah, so you think even higher unemployment is the answer? That's...just...brilliant...

No, it should not. Go read any of the many threads on the subject to find out why you are wrong.

Nope, lower unemployment by spending money on infrastructure, social welfare, and getting car makers out of bankruptcy was and still is the answer. If there had been more stimulus money the US would have been out in 2009. But instead the tea party/neoliberal con artists spun their faulty data, about the world ending when government debt reaches 100%.
