Things are getting bad when the local "gentleman's club" is opening late because they can't find any strippers. I hear they already run through all the "handsome" ones. I guess they'll be down to amputees soon.

Not sure why any stripper would ever work like that when they can cam from home to thousands of people. Strip clubs are just super old school.

Some dudes want to see it in person. They want to see em put em on the glass.

Im sure. But from the girls perspective I mean, its not scalable, its less money and probably far weirder.

Well the main reason is they get a lot of tips that sure as fuck ain't being reported to the IRS. The clubs probably takes less fees from them than cam sites, and they get easy access to drugs. I don't know how them cam sites work but if the girls earnings are based on how many viewers they get, working clubs could be steadier income for em. I wouldn't be surprised if most of em do both.

If you cam you are competing with other cam girls all over the world. So you either have to be hotter and/or be a legit entertainer, or do really dirty things to get any attention and therefore money. It is like asking someone who plays games why don't they just do twitch for a living.

If youre on cam, you can be spread out to everyone and friends and fam know.

Strippers are more low key and only so many viewers know. Even if you saw someone you know stripping you probably dont want to tell because it means you admit being there. Some strippers only strip out of town to also limit locals who might spot them.

The vast majority of businesses don't operate on margins anywhere close to Wolfgang Puck or your corporate firm. $50k + full benefits + FICA/FUTA/SUT/WorkerComp/Insurances/Etc would make the actual cost of those employees around $100k/yr, which is untenable for small businesses to pay low skilled roles. The local restaurant of the guy you're quoting for example, with a cost of $100K+ for every head, would have to hike prices so high they'd be out of business within a month or two. If you somehow managed to make every business pay everyone "fair" salaries with full benefits, inflation would just equilibrate to a point where someone making $50K + Benefits has the same buying power, QOL, and COL as someone making $30K w/o benefits today. The solution to your hypothetical scenario is for both spouses to work for a few years before having kids, in which time they should presumably be able to accrue enough wealth to either afford the 3-4 years of child care, or afford for one of them to stay home until the child at least reaches school age.

The problem in the end is that there are only so many resources to go around.

People don't want to admit it but paying different people different wages is a way to ration those resources so that those whose work is more valued by society get better access to resources. You can print money Zimbabwe style but in the end, a loaf of bread ends up costing a million dollars. If there's not enough resources to go around, there's nothing you can do about it(bar technological improvement).

Already they say we are using 4 earth's worth of resources, and most of that is in the first world, it is said even the average American lifestyle is untenable for the rest of the third world. We are also near peak in many resources, and as production scales down rationing will get worse. It is better that at least some have luxuries than that all live in abject poverty.

A veteran Taco Bell worker of 20 years says he quit because customers have gotten so 'unreasonable' and hard to deal with

He says customers have gotten more demanding and abusive since the pandemic started, forcing him to leave Taco Bell and the industry.
