    Fun fact, you can actually tell how the economy is doing based off sex workers tips and income. It’s actually more reliable than any other financial marker.

      Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.

      That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there’s an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don’t think we can say that it’s a fact yet.

        Strip clubs, apparently. The slower the work, the more likely the economy is about to start hurting as it’s (apparently) one of the first things people stop doing to save money.

      The big Mac scale was made obsolete by the apple scale… which is superseded by the sex scale… Which actually makes sense, because you get a good dataset from a wide community of users… it’s not limited to people who eat McDonald’s or buy apple products. Inherently, “sex” or sexually focused material is a commodity that interests a broader community.
