From the post:

>Strip club workers in Denver are legally considered workers who are entitled to protections under the city's wage and employment laws, a Denver district judge ruled last week. The ruling comes as part of a lawsuit from several clubs against Denver Labor, a division of the city auditor's office, which ordered the clubs to pay back millions of dollars in wages to hundreds of employees. Denver Labor launched an investigation into PT's Showclub Centerfold, PT's Showclub, and Diamond Cabaret in 2023 and Rick's Cabaret in 2024. The office found that two of those strip clubs -- Diamond Cabaret and Rick's Cabaret -- misclassified entertainers as exempt from wage and hour laws, violated minimum wage laws, and engaged in widespread wage theft.

They'll change their tune pretty quickly when they start getting paid minimum wage. Also, the club owners should process all tips over cards and then pay them out on pay checks with all of the withholding taxes in place.

Exactly. You want to get all uppity whore? Pay the toll.

I am reminded of a story out of Germany, where a woman lost unemployment benefits for not taking a job at a massage parlor. If you are unemployed, you are eligible for benefits as long as you look for work. She got offered a job at the one she lost, and declined. Got offered a job at another place and declined (I forget details). And then, because prostitution is legal, got offered massage parlor and after declining that, lost unemployment benefits.

A lot changes when you make prostitution legal, none of the changes are a good thing.

That sounds fucking horrifying. Imagine being told that you have to prostitute yourself to just get the most basic of gov assistance.

This is what the libs/commies/Dems want. I want minimum requirements for the able bodied but that is fucking insane.
