Not Likely Going To Happen
[QUOTE=DNut;4730100] The point of this post is to ask, does anyone have any other ideas on how to entice clients these days, other than lower rates, that I could pass along?[/QUOTE]The idea of adding more time for the same amount of money is a good one. May save a client or two. Unfortunately, it's not going to change the direction the wind is blowing.
During a recession, guys will find money under the car seat if necessary to see a girl.
During a recession with a chance of a miserable death from Covid-19 added in and who cares what's under the car seat. Not going to risk dying.
Visit a sex worker and you know she is seeing many guys. You can take precautions to prevent catching something nasty. Can get meds to cure or prolong life.
Visit a sex worker now you have no idea who she has seen. Are her previous clients Covid free or carriers? Does she have it? Did she breath on you? Kiss you? How is your luck at Russian roulette?
You get Covid you die. Doesn't matter what the girl says or does to attract clients these days that dance with death doesn't change for her or her clients.
Imagine the inverse occurring
[QUOTE=DNut;4730100]I was chatting with a provider who asked an interesting question. Acknowledging that times are hard and a lot of people don't have the disposable income they once did, how can she entice clients without herself losing out by lowering prices. She does have a point. Just like everyone, she also has bills that need to be paid.
I suggested that instead of taking less money, to ADD time. Instead of (for example only) charging $200 for an hour, still charge $200 but for 75 minutes or 90 minutes. She is asking about getting more clients so I believe I can safely assume that she doesn't have the current client base to schedule back-to-back-to-back clients; she has downtime. Not many of us can still go longer than an hour, have multiple pops within that hour, get to position 85 of the Kama Sutra without doing physical therapy afterwards, etc. , but offering some extra time to catch one's breath between pops could provide some incentive in these challenging times. (I am only stating my suggestion, but I'm sure someone will take this as a challenge to a debate over the merits of this idea. It's not open for debate.).

Within a few months, unemployment is projected to be at over 10%. Deflation is already occurring and will only accelerate. Whatever money that I have now will only be worth more in the future and it would be wise to hold on to it or I should save if the emergency affects me. If someone wants me to spend on non-necessitates, then I see no reason to not want a discount for money that will increase in spending value or to justify depleting my emergency fund.
Might want to rethink that!

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!
What are you talking about?

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.
[URL]https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/[/URL]
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.
Interest rates and demand.
[QUOTE=Fatmando;4731680]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.[/QUOTE]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?
Throw back to the tall brunette with huge tits
[QUOTE=LurkinGround;4731378]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.[/QUOTE]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.
New providers in classified site
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.

Porn star offering escorting services
Was it only my imagination, but wasn't there used to be a Main Forum thread (not in Ohio, but the main Forum page) that dealt with discussions specifically about porn stars that do escorting on the side? I could have sworn it was on USSG; or maybe it was on the now defunct "large canine" site. Anyone remember that?
