Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

I've noticed a big influx of new providers on the ad site. Many ads seem to be copied from escort alligator. Just curious as to why. I.

Juliette! She was awesome and I saw her a many times. I didn't know she did FS until out last visit together. Her DUI really set her back. Oh good times.

I was just thinking of Juliette the other day. Wonder what happened to her. She never opened up to me about her personal life, but she knew I was in love with her and treated me well.

[MontgomeryMm67]

I agree with this post quite a bit. There are two sides to every story. Steve at EE has always treated me well, been prompt to respond, sent pics if a provider said not have any in his site etc. I have providers I like thru EE and some I didn't. It seems the girls who he schedule for almost always thi k they can go it alone after a bit and I am 100% sure many guys the see tell them if you cut Steve out you could be so much better. I don't know the back story about the Ryann / Ee breakup and I don't care. I do t need to see dirty laundry aired here because that's between them. I will say Steve is posting a few updates on twitter and still responds to texts. He told me he was working on a new site and it would be a few days and that was early this past week. That's my two cents.

Stay thirsty my friends.

I have met with a couple that said he was good to deal with and a couple that didn't have nice things to day, mainly that he scheduled "clients" too close together. I really don't know all that much about the situation, I was told he pays for half the room rate, and takes a cut of the donation. He deals with the scheduling and they deal with the "other part" of the transaction. Not white knighting here but I would think there are 2 sides to every story. I've never had an issue with him or any of his girls. Always prompt, returns text quickly, never ghosted, etc. There have been a few that have stayed with him for quite awhile BTW. Others come and go, I chalk up a lot of that to the normal eb and flow in that line of work. There arent many that stay doing it for long. I would imagine its a bit draining both mentally and physically on these girls, never knowing who is showing up, will they be abusive, rip them off, etc. I am always on edge meeting someone for the 1st time, I could imagine they feel the same, only going through it multiple times per day. Has to wear them down after a while.

Now Brooke, I have repeated with. Even though she was a bit thicker than I prefer and I am not really a big boob guy, I found her slight southern drawl and face to be very appealing. Her BBBJCIM was outstanding as well.

I have been dealing with EE for years and "most" of the ones I have seen were great, Galina and Cherry, ATF material. Some, I can remember their names, a real tall one with a great rack, 2-3 years ago was another.

I have had serious deflation problems since about 2010. Pills help sometimes. I need inflation.

Be careful! I hear those pills can cause HYPER-inflation! LOL.

People like you are fueling this ridiculous hysteria around C-19. No, if you get Covid you most likely will not even know that you have it. If you're in a risk group then yes there is a chance that you will die. A chance not a certainty. Covid is not ebola.

These are the most recent numbers for the worldwide distribution of deaths due to corona.

https://www.worldometers.info/corona...-demographics/

If you are under 40 with no underlying conditions your chance of survival is 99.8 percent if you're over 40 then it jumps to the astonishingly poor rate of 99.6%.

These numbers are based on confirmed cases only with the horribly inadequate testing that has been done. Once real testing starts the morbidity rate (people who have it) is going to skyrocket, and the mortality rate (percent of people who die from it that have it) is going to drop like a fucking rock. Something to the tune of. 000 something mortality rate. Right now, at this moment when expressed as a percentage the total number of deaths from corona is 0. 0008% of the world population. This is not a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, humanity is not engaged in a desperate fight for it's survival.

Why couldn't corona have aggressively targeted stupid people instead of grandmas and grandpas.

Early on the death rate was estimated at 1% or less. This won't even thin the herd.

That's all anecdotal speculation. Not every product will go down in price during a pandemic but overall demand will decrease. The unemployed do not usually increase their spending. The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate to 0% and that is not something that is down if inflation is suspected. Once the rate goes to zero you really can't go lower, which is why the current stimulus involves literally giving people money to spend. Once again, not action that occurs if inflation is threat.

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that spending on food services, arts and accommodations would temporarily decline by about 80% during a major pandemic. Spending on public transportation would drop by 67%. When the populations unemployment increases rapidly demand diminishes, inflation is not the outcome.

Demand for basic needs like rent / mortgage, utilities, food, insurance etc. Do not change. However the comforts or wants in life should decrease. Food for an example will usually go up in prices. As I stated earlier beef prices are climbing and supply seems to be diminishing. After my earlier post, I read two articles about the dairy industry (co ops) telling the dairy farmers to dump the milk they are collecting due to issues getting it to market. Even though demand is high, the supply is decreasing. That will result in higher prices in the future, which is inflation.

As far as interest rates, they have been low for how many years now? About 7 years or so, well before Trump took office. When the fed keeps dropping interest rates until it is 0% that is not a good thing either. It gives no incentive to folks to save money. It also props up a weak economy and a heavy debited Government. One could argue that the cash money that is being handed out is nothing more then a grab for votes for both parties! I would rather have the economy opened back up and welfare / snap / ebt benefit reform, along with getting the deficit almost to $0.

What is your take on the stock market? IS it or was it over inflated? Another article I just read stated it could go back to around 15 k for the first time in years. We haven't ween that in how many years?

Oil Prices usually are an indicator of what is to come! Right now the US is at the mercy of the Chinese! We allowed to much manufacturing and supply lines to be moved over seas for larger profits! 3 M is a prime example of what I am talking about. They only have 1 plant in the USA and 2 over seas. What they produce domestically and overseas has not been coming into the USA market. Also they have raised the prices on their PAPR systemsfor an example from around $600 to a minimum of $ 1300.8 years ago you could buy the same system for $300. The newer systems are also back ordered for a minimum 8 months.

Let us also look at the fact that the fed is printing money like we have it! That devalues the currency and the amount of buying power that a $1 has. That is inflation! So it takes more $ to buy the same thing! Have you looked at the beef market? Prices went up almost a $1 a lb 2 weeks ago. Most grocery stores and butcher markets are not getting their normal supply from the suppliers. So demand for meat, less of it means higher prices.

I wish there would be deflation, that way I could get gas for under. 75 cents, Marlboros for. 50 cents a pack. Oh wait, that means my hourly wage would have to go from $30 plus an hour back to $8 an hour.

I never referenced oil prices as the cause for all deflation. Deflation also occurred in the 2008 recession as well. With this many people losing their jobs, deflation will occur. Estimates from the CBO have us at 10% unemployment at the end of the year. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/30/coronavirus-job-losses-could-total-47-million-unemployment-rate-of-32percent-fed-says.html

There's a reason EE can't keep any girls for any length of time. They figure him out real fast.

I have met with a couple that said he was good to deal with and a couple that didn't have nice things to day, mainly that he scheduled "clients" too close together. I really don't know all that much about the situation, I was told he pays for half the room rate, and takes a cut of the donation. He deals with the scheduling and they deal with the "other part" of the transaction. Not white knighting here but I would think there are 2 sides to every story. I've never had an issue with him or any of his girls. Always prompt, returns text quickly, never ghosted, etc. There have been a few that have stayed with him for quite awhile BTW.

I am surprised you don't think that I think her and brooke are the best in Cincinnati.

Now Brooke, I have repeated with. Even though she was a bit thicker than I prefer and I am not really a big boob guy, I found her slight southern drawl and face to be very appealing. Her BBBJCIM was outstanding as well.

Eh to each their own, my "higher prices" provide me the luxury to stay home till need be while you are already pondering your future endeavors.

Employee? Where is my W-2?

Ok, business associate then, LOL.

And sweetie, I am fine financially, no pondering future endeavors, I'm next in line to run a half billion dollar a year company.

Even though this is the Octagon, didn't mean to flame you, you were fine. Personally, I didn't see anything that justified the higher rates compared to some of his other girls. I'm sure you have your loyal following and I'm happy for you. There is a reason they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream as the ole saying goes, best of luck to you.

Deflation in the petroleum market is due to Russia and the Saudis pumping the market with way to much supply atm! Everyone is going to do a 10-20% cut in daily production. So prices will go back up to $60. In a few months when everyone goes back to work! Wait until thre is hyper inflation if things keep going the way they are! If you are old enough to remember the late 70's to early 80's then you will know what I am talking about!

Most of the time those two groups are one and the same. At least based on my assessment of Boomers in the past 20 years.
