That's really well said.

The blurb you linked to doesn't say there is no laugh track. It says there are live audience sounds. What the TV audience hears is both live studio sounds AND a laugh track, and probably much more of the latter.

Including moderation.

Is there any evidence that this style of drawer actually controls humidity?

Is it even fair to say the families were kicked out "for Ferrari?"

For my own sanity, I've never had a Facebook account.

You know how I know you're a bad listener? Because in a few of my posts, I explicitly wrote, "you're right about X," and you're here whinging that I can't "admit that you're right," which I suspect is what actually motivates you.

Look, I think you're an articulate writer and a clear thinker, but as a listener, it seem the only person you want to hear is yourself.

I know you already said that, but what you seem to have missed is that we're at that equilibrium point, right now. That's why none of these new potential owners (I'm not sure why you assume I think there's a cabal of owners - I don't) are opening up new clubs.

If there are only enough customers to support the five clubs already in town at the current rate of profitability, that number of clubs won't grow. But it will grow until it's not profitable for it to grow any more.

Believe me, as an MBA, I understand "basic economics," and I'm not disagreeing with you that lowering barriers to entry will lead to more available dancers. That's obvious.

I think your first point is fair. I can see how the number of dancers hired by a club could increase, thus decreasing average wages.

Why are you assuming a club would increase their hiring pool by 500%?

I don't know much about the world of stripping, but doesn't the majority of a dancer's income come from customers? So, even if everybody wanted to be a stripper, income would barely decrease. Yes, clubs might be able to pay a lower hourly, but tips from the customers wouldn't change a bit.

The advice Jennifer Lawrence gave off-the-record:

Agreed. But even by that stupid metric, Stacey Keibler (former pro wrestler) is interesting as hell!

What a cynical, nasty, baseless article.

Hahahaha! I like that. Alternately, you can also just threaten to sell them.

A few things . . .

Agreed. I was shopping for a STEM toy for my four year old niece, who has been thoroughly princess-fied, and Goldiblox were the least appealing option I came across.
