👯‍♀️ The Stripper Index is a rising and unconventional economic indicator that has caught the attention of economists and social observers in recent years. It uses spending patterns in strip clubs and adult entertainment venues to gauge levels of discretionary income—the money people spend beyond basic needs❗

Here's the logic 👇

🔻 If tips and customer numbers go down → People are tightening their budgets, a possible sign of economic downturn.

🔺 If spending rises → Consumers feel financially confident, indicating a healthier economy.

💡 The idea first gained attention during the 2008 financial crisis, when many adult entertainers in the U.S. noticed a sharp drop in income, even before traditional economic indicators reflected the recession. Some now believe strippers may spot economic shifts before Wall Street does.
