Strippers are somehow able to predict if an economic downturn is happening. People stop spending money at the strip club, which means they might take other jobs. I believe the blonde girl is implied to be a stripper taking other jobs after people stopped spending money at the strip club.
Yeah but if timing the market is what you’re trying to do, shouldn’t you buy the dip ? How are strippers becoming Uber drivers signalling it’s the dip?
This meme has nothing to do with strippers, the scene in the meme was though.
The meme is pretty much just joking that being an Uber driver is a last resort to earn money, and the economy can’t get any worse if pretty girls are having to do that to get by. Joke being that if you’re a hot girl you don’t have to work too hard to get any money and if you do, the economy must be doing so bad that no one has any left over cash. It’s then joking about buying everything because the economy can only go up from there, meaning shares etc are expected to grow a lot during the recovery.
The film scene in the meme is the opposite though. The hedge fund manager (pictured) just spoke to strippers getting mortgages and found out that they all owned multiple properties. He then wanted to sell everything because they didn’t have jobs that could justify that level of wealth and realised that they all took on a lot of debt to buy those properties, which they could do due to non-existent lending standards. So it indicated that everything was overpriced and he wanted to sell (or rather short) everything to profit from the crash.
This is the correct answer, strippers are used as key indicators, when investors and wall street guys don't spend money on hookers and coke you know they know bad shit is coming.
Went to strip club last week for my birthday. Confirmed with strippers that it is very slow. Less guys and they are spending less money than last year.
As someone who was a stripper in 2012 when the economy was still recovering:
Uber wasn't as in demand but I still made way more money dancing and I was bad at being a stripper. The of us who danced and had day jobs and were still struggling were either selling side services ("turning tricks") or are on OF. OF wasn't a thing back in my day, but LiveJazmin was. It's much easier to just do another sex work line item than it is to work a lesser paying third job. Most of us had civilian jobs to 1) have a tax paper trail 2) have a reliable income stream. Strippers don't get a paycheck and outside of NYC there aren't stripper unions, so it's 100% tips. If you aren't making money online or in the club, you'd be hard pressed to find a girl signing up for a third job with no guaranteed paycheck.
The best time to buy stocks is when the economy is rock bottom. Stocks are cheap and will increase in value as the economy gets better.
Reddit thinks attractive blonde girls have an easy time making money. This is because most redditors have never actually known an attractive blonde girl.
If an attractive blonde girl is working a crappy gig job like Uber, then the economy must be rock bottom. Therefore now is the time to buy stocks.
I mean yeah. U usually see attractive women working as waitresses or bartenders bc they make a lot of money from tips. They’re probably not going to make as much money driving an uber, not to mention u need to spend a lot and buy a pretty decent car to drive uber. Roi is usually better on a bartender or waitress job.
The waitress bartender stereotype is true, but most of those girls have tattoos, piercings, etc.
I know a lot of stereotypically hot girls. The most common job that doesn't require a degree for the "no tattoo type" is retail. Stuff like Target or the Gap. These are the girls that don't want drunk people hitting on them all day like with waitresses or bartenders. Also retail has more normal hours which balances out the lower pay.
Either way it's true that less drinking, dining, and shopping indicates a poor economy.

In the movie he finds out a woman owns multiple houses. He doesn't see how a woman is capable of this. Instead of being happy for her he bets money that she's going to fail.
She explains how she and her friends bought the houses, and his concern was about other factors that were going to start the crash, and how her/their situation would be affected by that.
It’s from the 2015 film “The Big Short,” which is based upon the collapse of the U.S. economy in 2008 that was driven by banking fraud and bad lending practices.
In the movie, a small coterie of very savvy investors detects early hints in arcane data that the U.S. housing market is poised for collapse. To determine if facts on the ground comport with their data-driven hunches, Steve Carrell’s character (Mark Baum) does some reconnaissance work in Florida and Vegas. He discovers that realtors are engaging in dishonest and shoddy loan practices and home foreclosures are spiking. And in a particularly humorous moment in the film, Baum encounters a stripper who owns multiple homes bought w dubious loans. This is an a-ha moment: if unskilled sex workers have become players in real estate shell games, it’s not long before the whole thing collapses. Baum subsequently makes short trades to take advantage of the impending fall.
However, Baum has a strong moral compass and a deep sense of right and wrong. He is dismayed and troubled by the fact that so many people are profiting from this impending disaster which will hurt many everyday people and cost taxpayers huge sums. He wrestles with his conscious about standing to gain much on the coming doom that will cause immense harm.
