Don't forget that we don't keep all of the money. And even if you see a guy dropping $1,000, that might be with one or two dancers and there are 30 more on the floor fighting for scraps. LA is not a huge strip club market either. Most of my earnings increase is from me building up a roster of regular customers and also just getting better at the job.

You say Saudi Aramco is publically traded but it’s only got a measly 1.5% traded and only from 2019. Its basically fully government owned and lines government coffers nicely every year. The whole point of the IPO was becuase the government wanted cash. To be fair they are using it for a sovereign wealth fund to diversify their revenue. Furthermore, the IPO didn’t attract much interest from western capital markets for problems commonly associated with SOEs, like corporate transparency and political risk.

It sounds more like Saudi Gov is just more competent at management than the Venezuela Gov.

“If you borrow money for school, you pay it back just like I did and all my friends did.”

I’ve made 317 payments since I graduated college and still owe approximately 54% of how much I initially borrowed. Granted at one stretch of time I had to hold off payment Bc a disability and bankruptcy but you know… no big deal.

That is more interesting and seems less surprising. I guess your last year average seems more in line with what I would think. $500 on average seems like what I would expect an attractive woman to make. I haven’t been to a strip club in a few years but it always seemed like the women were making a fortune. But I didn’t often go on a weekday so I missed the nights where there are no guys dropping $1,000.

Was the uptick in earnings in later years a result of the analysis?
