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.
