Posted March 13, 2014 Under no circumstances visit the mexicam brothels. All that i have have been to,organized. Crime body guards at doors and very questionable condtions for the workers. Most are aimed at lower socioeconomic clientile so talent pool poor. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or are you referring to the Hispanic brothels in CO aimed at the immigrant population? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 13, 2014 Is anyone wondering why the Feds commissioned a study on the economics of an underground business - our hobby? Think of all the tax revenue the Fed, State, and Local governments missed out on the nearly $1B in trade in just those six cities alone. Pretty lucrative. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be around when govies start regulating and taxing our hobby 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 14, 2014 The study did find pricing was consistent across the country, with $150 an hour the common going rate for prostitution. See it's official...we're overpaying here in Denver...LOL... ...Happy Hobbying... ...Crazy Horse... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) As a long time (retired) government employee (USPS), the one truism I learned about agencies is that they have to justify their existence. They can either say how "good" they are, or demonize an activity or product so that they can regulate, control or prosecute (presecute) it. The Urban Institute advertises itself as "nonpartisan economic and social policy research" See the top of their web page. http://www.urban.org/publications/413047.html Two questions for them. 1. How much of their total income is derived from government grants? 2. What is (was) their methodology of the research. (If they did any at all.) The first word of the paper title gives a major clue. "Estimating" My thoughts on the "paper" can best be summed up using the words of General Norman Schwarzkopf. He memorably dismissed one report he disagreed with as "bovine scatology." Remember, the study was paid for by the government, so it will say any damn thing they want it to say. Be well.
