So, your finances are fine, and since you posted a new review today, the price increases aren't above what you're willing to pay and haven't kept you from fucking hookers...

You're asking this question...why? So you can get a lesson on how obvious it is that hookers don't give a fuck what you think?

Sounds like an oil industry guy...

Yes it is uncommon. I don't know of any professional in engineering, oil or construction that got 2 years severance. Most get one or two weeks for every year they worked at the company (and they sometimes limit the number of years).

Still waiting for your restaurant review.

I offered a significant, month long, Oil & Gas special for gentlemen who had lost their jobs a few months ago, and had very few take me up on the offer. Times must not be that tough. Can't please everyone.

Exactly, my limit has been and continues being 200 in Houston. But as you can see from the reviews there are plenty that give in to the asking rates. Luckily I'm going away this weekend to a land of beautiful, flat stomach, gfe ladies for 30-40 USD, or 100-150 all night.

Supply and demand. Folks would not be raising rates of they thought they couldn't get paid. I don't see anyone on here complaining about low traffic, so maybe the it's just not a problem for people in the hobby.

What is the elasticity on sex, anyway? Would hobbyists hobby more of prices were lower? Or is sex a Giffin Good? I know I get suspicious of anyone charging south of $150.

Sure - most normal joes get less. Unless you have a "golden parachute" - then it's different.

Anyone seen the salt shaker and extra butter???

There are still some gals who provide extensive menus for a budget conscience man!

You're not the first to say that to me...I might have to get back into them. Never knew there was such a demand. I eat much healthier now, so it'll be a nice change of restaurant types...

You sure you can afford the places I eat? Don't want to see a thread from you about overpriced vegan food in our down oil economy or anything...

"Most companies" = engineering, oil, or construction?

I said it's not "uncommon" .... I know some ... plus insurance benefits ... with structured pension/retirement contributions. Like I said .... they weren't "emptying wastepaper baskets or key punching pay checks" ..... and ... oh! ....and they signed a "confidentiality agreement"!!!!

I still don't see the part where there was whining about prices. All I see is a question prompting discussion about the elasticity of pricing relative to the current market and this industry. The economics of the situation are curious by standards of typical supply and demand. I don't see the reason for such angst simply because he asked a question. The lack of reading comprehension here is astonishing.

The only whining in this thread is in most of the responses.
