He is like 5'3. You have to be off the charts in everything else when you are that short.

No. That is stupid.

Actually, the people who run your case are former insurance adjusters hired by these firms. They’re the ones who mostly deal with the clients. The lawyers essentially do whatever court hearings are needed and conduct the depositions, if needed.
Isn't that what they disbarred E for?

IVF disgusts me. Too many embryos are robbed of their humanity by being frozen indefinitely or just outright destroyed.
Can you imagine the NIL deal Rickie Weeks could have gotten with the transfer portal?

I definitely saw Aliens in theaters when I was 5.

Uh oh, the Disney accountants have arrived. If this movie has a decent hold on Tuesday and Wednesday, they'll be saying it has to at least $700 million to reak even. Can't wait for more of their fake math.
Maybe read a trade. They are reporting $160 million in production and $175 million P&A. That means a box office and tax credit of $625. The California tax credit was reported at $22 million. leaving $603 from box office.

Right, we don’t get the sales tax revenue if they are never here. Instead we forego the tax revenue, we use the land in a manner that has colossal impact on everyone around, but provides next to nothing actual benefit to the people impacted, and creates next to no long term employment.
Any other industrial use would be vastly superior.

One of the things I am proudest of in my consulting career is authoring the language that kept Essence and Jazz fests from being eligible for the film tax credits.

If Nicholls or Southern made the field I’m for them. Everyone else can frick off.

The sales tax exemptions for the three data centers currently under construction in LA are going to cost about $10 billion over the minimum 20 year period. Most of the promised jobs will be automated before the data centers are online.
Almost any use of the thousands of acres these things will take up would have a better cost benefit. They are crappy projects.

Movie math has always been like this. Budget + Marketing x 2 is what is needed to break even. X 2 is for the theaters to get their cut.
For big summer blockbusters P&A is usually 100 to 125% of the production budget. The trades are reporting that Disney spent $175 million on P&A for this one.
Disney probably has close to 350 million in this thing all told. They did get approved for 22 million in California tax credits. They typically net that against production.
quote:
are you under the impression those are good numbers? it will need to make $550 million to break even
Its gonna take more like $650 to $700 to break even. $166 million production budget plus another $175 in P&A has been reported.
Look, I'm no fan of Morris. When I say most Louisiana legislators are dumb, he is one that brings the average iq way down. Dottie Norton and Morris are in a race to the bottom for dumbest in the legislature, but color me shocked that a hit piece about him rolls out a few days after he proposes the bill that draws a 6-0 map.
There is some of that, but they are just shitty projects and not worth what states are forking out to get them.

Roswell incident,
Absolutely nothing. Jesse Marcel was my grandmothers brother. He didn’t begin to talk about the incident as anything more than a balloon recovery until he had dementia and the UFO people started coming around and asking questions that confused him.
