$500 the new hourly rack rate?

With rising interest rates, the Fed's plan to tank the economy, and today's stock market collapse, rates will come down 😊😂

Huh, in an inflationary environment, rates will decrease.  Huh.

Agree.  

During high inflation, people spend their money on necessities like food, housing, gas et cetera.  That means entertainment and providers likely will have to adjust fees downward to attract customers.

Ha, ha, ha...ain' no dust on you! Certainly, but I will require drinks and dinner at the restaurant of my choice.

In the scenario I described inflation will have been slayed, but at an incredible cost with lots of hardship.  We’ve seen this before.  Of course the people who run the Fed are all multi-millionaires… what do they care?

Also, it's becoming more and more likely that a recession is coming. If history is a guide, it might be like the one during the late 70s and early 80s, the last time they had to stop high inflation with big interest rate hikes.

Recession = fewer clients and more deperate providers.

A valid observation, and, too, the escort market is heavily saturated with providers.

Guys...  this thread is taking a turn into the political realm.  If we want to discuss inflation and overall costs... take it to the Political Issues forum please.  

[Guest MikeThomas]

So many new rules

Ummmm...  nope.  In fact, many rules have been relaxed in the last year.  

In the very beginning discussion of political issues was not allowed PERIOD on the site.  In 2003, the Political Issues forum was created based on member request for a spot to discuss politics and ever since then, politics has been restricted to that single forum.   So it's been that way for nearly 20 years.    

If you have any specific questions on what is permitted or not, you may ask questions in the "Ask a Moderator" forum.  

[Luv2play]

I make a distinction between political and economic discussions. Talking about inflation and its impacts on people and their spending habits doesn't strike me as political, unless we vere into policies being advocated by political parties.

[RadioRob]

The topic is about provider rates. If it’s going to be a discussion of inflation in general outside of the bounds of providers… it’s off topic.  If folks want to discuss inflation in general outside of the immediate discussion of providers, take it to politics please. 

[Luv2play]

Ok, but I assume that if we discuss what would happen to provider rates if we enter into a recession, that would be kosher in this forum.

That is correct.  If the discussion is in relation to providers, it's fine.    

[Kevin Slater]

Criticizing members of the Fed, however, goes beyond the topic at hand.

I think it is more likely that provider rates will stabilize if we enter a recession rather than go down. I can't remember what happened to rates after the financial crash in 08. 

[Skip]

I would think that this in this arena, the demand is proably recession proof. As inflation causes increases in daily living costs there may be more supply come on the market to provide additonal income to those feeling the pinch. That could cause a stabilization of  normal rates. This is a silly but entertaining thread. Pay the price, enjoy the entertainment. 

[Tandy Newton]

Just talk to a provider, 500 an hour. I just loaded xhamster and watched an old Al Parker video. Itch scratched!

[cany10011]

Good time to treasure those providers who charge 300.
