TLDR: Look at the chart.
I’ve heard for months that a recession is right around the corner. The talking heads on news networks have been screaming yes, while others are screaming no, and then every dog walker at the park says something else. Who is right? Strippers. Strippers are right, and maybe you can finally expense a trip to the Hustlers Club.
Known as the Stripper Index, is an economic measure based on patrons and cash tips. If there is reduction in both fields it is believed that there is strain on the economy and thus, a recession. This is not a one night measurement, this is over an extended period of time. Our recommendation based on this information is do not pick up stripping during a recession.
Twitter user @Botticellbimbo tweeted/X’d (I don’t know what we’re calling it) “the strip club is sadly a leading indicator and i can promise y’all we [are] in a recession lmao”… “me getting stock alerts just to decide whether it’s worth it to go to work”.
The question is, how are strippers doing? After interviewing many strippers this past weekend this Pipeline Press writer can personally say while I am not responsible for putting their kids through college, my funding was helpful. It is yet to be seen if the donation is a tax write off or if I can expense it.
Some of us are visual learners so here’s a fancy chart to help:
