This is the swiss army knife for books.

You get everything you need to know in the book.

What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School & What They Teach You at Harvard Business School is a bit better overall since gives you the sum of all human knowledge. Two books though, instead of just one.

Who cares about Harvard Business School?

All I want to know is Jewish-Japanese Sex.

the_crotch ,

Believe it or not they teach that at Harvard business school (it’s an elective but it still counts)

just a bulk purchase

cRazi_man ,

With sleep, meals, etc included. She was even making money while pooping. This was clearly a win for her.

SpermHowitzer ,

I’m sure a lot of sex workers make money while pooping.

cRazi_man ,

Oh my god…where…tell me so I can avoid places where such disgusting things are happening.

$3,000 was $7,209 in 2024 money (from 1990). $21/hr. would be $50 in 2024 money.

Dagwood222 ,

Stop looking at those ‘inflation adjustors’ and look at what you could actually buy.

Average rent per month in Los Angeles in 1990 was under $600.00/month

Today it’s over $2,000.00

If he paid her five months rent today, it would be $10,000.00, not $7,000.00

Wilzax ,

Inflation has affected our country very differently in different locales. Change in cost of living is the real metric for what inflation is trying to quantify

Dagwood222 ,

That’s why I stick with real world examples.

For example, the minimum wage in 1960 was $1.00/hour. The cost of the average home was $11,000.00

You’ve got a horrible infection and a fever?

I’ll be right over to slit your veins and let all the bad blood out.

(In fairness I think bloodletting was mostly out of practice by the time actual telephones existed, but lol joke)

Maybe a more time period accurate one would be:

Your foot hurts? You think its from a badly fit shoe. Ok. Ok. Come over tomorrow and we will stick your foot into the wildly overpowered and unshielded x ray scope and we’ll see what can be done.

KomfortablesKissen , in The Art of the Deal

Well, she’s advertised as a pretty woman, not a smart one.

And now, with a little less jest: It’s a stable income over a week, with a guy she evidently likes to at least look at. No need for advertising in that time. Meals are paid, as is time off. Also, the 21$ assume that she is paid 24 hours a day (3000$ ÷ 24 ÷ 6 = 20,83333…$) so she gets paid for sleeping, eating, essentially her own time. She also gets the opportunity to scout new, well off clients.

I would take that deal.

Vash63 ,

Even if you assume 8hr days that’s $63/hr, sizable drop from 100

Mongostein ,

Unpaid travel time between 8 different clients would make an 8 hour day much more than 8 hours

NABDad ,

You’re also assuming she gets 8 hours of work a day at her normal rate. It’s not like she’s salaried.

Jarix ,

We need to consider how many hours in a day she would normally get paid the $100/hour rate. Or said differently, how many hours does normally work in a 6 day period

She would need to work 30 billed hours in 6 days to break even on her normal rate

NucleusAdumbens ,

It’s also 8 hrs/day she doesn’t have random sweaty fat guys dumping loads in her. Anyone who doesn’t take that deal is either Ayn Rand level deranged or has beaten life and found their true passion

KomfortablesKissen ,

You can only compare that if the $100/hr are certain. Having no clients means having $0/hr.

Also to compare the two she has to have an 8hr day. I don’t have many experiences in the field, but that sounds not sustainable.

Peppycito ,

But how many sex did she provide in that pay period? They didn’t spend the whole week humping in bed. $/sex is quite above her normal rate.

Dkarma ,

3k pays your rent in San Fran with cash left over in that time period…ur damn right she’s hanging out with a rich dude and getting spoiled for a week and her rent paid. Mf out here acting like they’re breaking down door dash hourly.

LordGimp ,

Lmfao not even close. We’ll actually kinda close but still depressingly short. Doable with a roommate. She doesn’t seem like the roomie type

trxxruraxvr ,

That film was released in 1990, rents were lower back then

habanhero ,

So… I guess she is a smart woman after all?

OTOH I hope OP is at least pretty.

Jarix ,

If you calculated it as 8 hours a day of work it would work out to $62.5/hour

i mean it’s just a discount like when you’re buying things in bulk, it makes sense
