Even I f Congress cannot agree on how to manage the Minimum Hourly Wage, it's more likely they would address Maximum Hourly Outcall, as (regardless of orientation) I imagine the EXTRA discretion one pays for in DC comes at a steeper price...
Personally I do not hire frequently, but I window shop all the time, and have seen the rates increase along with everything else in SoCal. My tastes in men don't always overlap the demographic of the top-dollar pros, so I have never paid the highest amount in the market. Only once did I feel "meh" - the others have always been worth it, or more. When it gets too pricey, which may or may not preced my own 'too fuckin' old' cut-off, I'll have nice memories (Unless those vanish along with the ability to work a remote...who knows?)
