  • There's A Recession Coming

    Sex Workers Already Predicted There's A Recession Coming -- Here's How
    They Know

    The past has shown that nontraditional measures like brothels, beer
    and lipstick can tell us a lot about the economy's health.

    While some people anxiously watch the stock market for signs of a
    recession, others look for more subtle cues that the economy is in
    trouble.

    One of them is Catherine De Noire, a manager of a legal brothel, a
    Ph.D. candidate in organizational psychology and an influencer. When
    business at her brothel unexpectedly dips, De Noire takes it as a sign
    that the economy is in trouble.

    Although De Noire is based in Europe, she believes that economic
    upheaval in the United States "triggers huge uncertainty" across the
    pond because of America's global influence. De Noire first noticed a
    decline in business right after Donald Trump was elected in November
    2024, as Americans and the rest of the world anticipated upheaval.

    Strippers in the U.S. are also feeling the pinch. Dancer and
    influencer Vulgar Vanity said that when she first started dancing in
    2022, she could earn six figures just by dancing during a handful of
    big events in Austin, such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and South by
    Southwest music festival. This year is different.

    "I didn"t even bother working South by Southwest because the first
    Friday night I attempted to work, I walked into a completely empty
    club and didn't make any money at all," she said.

    I'd like to organize a meeting with Ms. Vulgar Vanity to discuss
    further ...

    Anyway, this recession is 100% self inflicted bullshit. Enjoy your
    Lord and Savior, folks, you are about to get fucked good and hard.

    And for extra comedy value, ponder this: it's 2025, and we've got one
    rogue nation led by an unhinged dictator surrounded by feckless advisors
    and yes-men, who is threatening its neighbors, ignoring the norms of
    modern diplomacy, clamping down on the rights of its citizens, and
    abusing minority groups while throwing economic favors to a crass
    economic elite. And we've got another nation, an industrial
    powerhouse that led millions out of poverty over the past 20 years,
    arguing on behalf of free trade and open borders.

    But it's 2025, so the first nation is red-state MericaFuckYeah, and
    the second nation is China.

    Well done, dipshits, you rightwing nincompoops.

    It started with Nixon's China trip...then years later, US/European industrialists flocked over there for having cheaper goods produced.

    And, China's spy machine have taken deep dives into US's tech/etc companies...and I assume European too.
