You must have no life if you have to pay for it. You are a loser. Pathetic. Sad.
See, inflation really is in check. The rise in grocery prices is offset by the drop in hooker prices.
Basic economics: As the supply goes up, the price goes down.
My lawyer only charges 250 an hour.
Makes sense. A bad economy and breakdown in moral ethics equals more prostitution. Also, it is a cash business.
Black markets flourish in heavily government controlled economies.
Inflation or deflation?
I wonder if this story will be picked up by the Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, Forbes or Bloomberg and the like. The folks at the Economist must have too much time on their hands to be tracking this nonsense.
Not that I have any personal experience to verify my statement, but isn't that more like 15 minutes of sex and 45 minutes of getting to it?
A large part of prostitution is never talked about, because neither the prostitutes or their clients are arrested. It can best be called “middle class prostitution”.
Typically it starts with a younger, divorced woman without children, who has a mortgaged home she cannot afford as part of the divorce settlement, and little possibility of gainful employment better than minimum wage.
She has anywhere from four to eight clients, often who are divorced themselves, but are men of some means. And neither she nor they want to get married again.
She very carefully schedules them so there are no conflicts, and often provides other entertainments, like a good dinner and conversation, as part of the deal. She may also act as an escort to public functions.
In return, each of the men give her some part of the legal exclusion of taxable money gifts for the year, which can be as much as $14,000 per customer, though seldom rises to that level, of course.
Yeh but now they get Obamacare.
