I doubt that most strip clubs will be unprofitable now. What I think is closer to the truth is that they were previously obscenely profitable, thanks in part to exploiting dancers and evading taxes, and will now be "merely" profitable along the same lines as any other service-based small business like a bar or restaurant.
- dominotw 7y ago> were previously obscenely profitable How can that be. Wouldn't that simply increase the supply of strip clubs, from more getting into something thats that profitable.
- tfha 7y agoDo we have data?
- jefftk 7y agoI suspect it's hard to open one. Neighbors probably object.
- ambicapter 7y agoDo you find it hard to find a strip club?
- wmf 7y agoI'm going to guess that it's hard to get a license to operate a strip club in San Francisco so it may be more of a regulatory and lobbying game.
- dominotw 7y ago> hard to get a license to operate a strip club So they are solving issue they themselves created with more laws. Heh.
- cat199 7y agothis assumes the labor/client pool in a given area is infinite, and that management skill is not a factor. e.g. good managers who take care of their dancers/customers get the best dancers and so attract the best customers.
- ActorNightly 7y agoThe more interesting thing is how this is gonna play out for high end strip clubs. Its not uncommon for dancers at those clubs to make upwards of $150k a year, which sometimes includes prostitution at the end of the night with VIP clients.
- jadell 7y agoI'm sure the prostitution portion of the work will still be best described as "independent contracting" and not part of the dancers' employment at the club.
- ryanmarsh 7y agoStrip clubs might be exploiting dancers, but I don't see much evidence that they're exploiting them financially. Have you seen the cash they bring home? Source: There's no way I'm telling
