I debated whether this fit better here or one of the other forums, but since the really smart SWers post in poo, here goes.
I've mentioned before that I've never been impressed with the business management skills of most strip club owners. So this thread
Missouri kills strip clubs and quick
got me to thinking (I know, a dangerous thing). Why aren't strip club owners more proactive in their dealings with the government? From what I can tell, the traditional model is this: Government passes new stripclub law. Club owners challenge law on free-speach grounds and try to drag it out in court...forever. But might it not be cheaper and more cost-effective to be in the state capitols and city halls trying to keep these laws from getting passed in the first place? "But Destiny, strip clubs aren't very popular with most people". Yeah, well cigarette makers aren't very popular either and their products kill people. They don't let that stop them from lobbying and conducting PR campaigns. As far as I know, no one ever died from a lap dance. Why don't strip clubs join together and hire lobbyists and PR people? Hell companies like Wal-Mart, when they get bad press, they increase their spending in those areas. Is there a trade group for strip clubs? If there is, it's not doing a very good job.
Well, enough pondering the important issues of the day. Time to take the dog and kid to the park and run them until one collaspes from exhaustion. Then its off to work. Have a great sat. everyone.![]()
