Up-tick in the SW Economy Indicators
[QUOTE=Diesel E]I am interested to see how the crumbling economy is going to affect the SW population. In theory it should produce a much better selection on the streets and the chat lines due to two main reasons:
1) Low paying jobs are harder to get for the potential SW/ breadwinner
2) Us mongers are either less willing or unable to part with our hard earned $$
This should produce a buyers market out there but it may take a while to filter through. I will be interested to follow the reports and see if these fundamentals of supply and demand hold true on the strolls.

This makes a lot of sense. Another reason we should see more SWs is fewer LE agents out there to bust them. Police departments determine how many cops they need based on some complex math that factors in the amount of crime taking place. In all the news reports crime has dropped a lot, especially in Milwaukee. With Wisconsin state's budget $5B in the hole there are cuts everywhere. And the reduced number of cops out there will have to focus on the more major crimes & less on the minor stuff - like how a woman makes a few bucks to put food on the table.
All this is theory, of course. I'm keeping my eyes open.
