the cost of doing business
I’m researching into getting a business license here in the city and came across a government list(scroll to the bottom and open a pdf if you really care) of fees for various professions. Here’s some of the more interesting ones.
these are yearly fees.
fortune teller $46
junk dealer $506
junk gatherer (resident) $97
antique shop $60
(why do antique shops pay less than junk gatherers?)
masked ball $215 (one time fee)
outcall massage service $209
escort service employee $84
owner $481
encounter studio employee $54
owner $474
(let’s assume what type of encounters they’re talking about)
medical cannabis dispensary $3,100
with an unexplained surcharge of $109
That’s what makes this city so great. They legalize and tax the good times.
