Easy. I'm the new CEO of the company we set up there. Employee salary is an expenditure, and being a company in that country, it qualifies for that rebate unless there's more details I'm missing. I was also grossly over-simplifying in my original comment, I'm sure it's more complicated than that. I also just attribute Hollywood Accounting (see other commenter's post) to anything listed as a box office loss.

"I lost $100 million dollars making this movie. Coincidentally, I also paid myself $100 million to make this movie."

"As the CEO, if I pay myself $100 million for making this movie, I will get $25 million of that back from government reimbursement."

No big budget movie will ever make a profit because they make sure the big wigs get paid the amount the profit would have been. It is intentional.

I have no idea, but I just assume at this point that even mentioning Lemmy on that site would result in either a ban or a shadowban from Spez's lackeys.

Dead communities or Bot communities. Pick one.

There's a few smaller communities on reddit that I like that don't have a presence here, which is unfortunate. I feel ya.

It's like the Loreal Kids shampoo deal. "No more tears" was the slogan, but it still hurt your eyes. They claimed "tears" was like tearing your hair, not tears in your eyes, even though in the commercials they pronounced it "teer" and not "tare."

The Tarnished is doing the same thing. Accruing power and committing genocide until they win.

When money is worthless, their only commodity will be promises, and that won't fill our belly.

Reddit is only good for massively reposted memes at this point. Any real communities with any semblance of civility are better on Lemmy, in my opinion, thanks to Reddit's policy of shooting themselves in the foot.

Edit: even with memes, I've found Lemmy to be the better option.

This might make sense for people with six+ figures sitting in a savings account, but the average person today doesn't have enough cash to think about earning interest on it. For them, paying off a debt now would be cheaper in the long run. For the most part, at least.

I like these points. Preventing a future expense by paying less now is always worth it, if you can afford it.

One can be folded into oragami. The other can be shot from a slingshot. I am truly enlightened.
