That is bullshit, based on outdated morality. Probably many, if not most of the strippers are moms with young kids who badly need the money.

@TomMcGiverin I agree completely. In another post elsewhere I pointed out that I hope the stripers that had nursing licenses kept them active so they can jump in where they're really needed now. I've never visited strip clubs but I'm pretty confident that they include ladies from all walks of life simply attracted to the fast money when other things (and men) have failed them. Crushing them financially is no way to "MAGA".

Well done, supporting local small business...

@TomMcGiverin thats how I view it as well

I'll bet weed businesses and their employees will be excluded from these financial benefits, as strip club workers and owners are (see my comment above). They went through and decided who lives and who dies. Which businesses can go on and wich will go bankrupt. That was why Trump wanted the final say in what businesses gain and which lose, with no accountability for at least 6-months, if at all. Six months get's him right up to about Election Day.

@mtnhome well, you can bet away but weederies are considered essential businesses in Oklahoma and were allowed to stay open. so we have some support on some level.

@JeffMesser Well, I'm happy to hear that, but "staying open" wasn't at all what I was alluding to... I was talking about business survival loans and grants. And I wonder if even "staying open" varies from state to state? Weed businesses have, right to today, I believe, been perceived as the poor bastard child of the illegal drug businesses and not eligible for Fed-Approved commercial banking privileges and many other normal business services. Some states may call them "essential" (essential to their tax base at least), but if Trump can eliminate "Adult Clubs" from Fed benefits offered to most other businesses, then I'd expect there to be a few old-fashioned types in the Trump system who will be driving to eliminate weed businesses from the Trillion$ in Fed benefits other businesses will be "rolling" in. Or maybe more likely, they'll make the life and death calls on which ones make it and/or don't, based on the good ole' buddy system and campaign financing. We all know the business will be consolidating in a cutthroat manner with very few biggies controlling the weed market in a few years. This is their big chance to make that happen.

@mtnhome ok whatever.

Anything this big (the biggest EVER), done this quickly (the quickest EVER), will be done wastefully, unfairly and despicably (the worst EVER). We've now entered the Twilight Zone of American financial destruction and a further re-aligning of the classes. Call it Financial-distancing. Trump gets to pick the winners and losers, with NO accountability. How's that going to work-out for us? The backroom deals are being made right now, as Congress has just decided to give themselves another three-weeks' vacation. The shit has hit the fan and it's not going to work out well for most. Brace yourselves.
