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.

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.

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.
That would make Zeph Zinsman blush.

Ive been hearing this since before Avi Lerner had problems with the IRS.
There are no more moderate Democrats. Republicans are the left of center moderates.

North Shore and surrounding parishes in the 6-0 map will neutralize Orleans. Plus Orleans is losing population. It’s the fastest shrinking large metro area in the U.S. for two consecutive years, with a decline of over 39,000 residents from 2020 to 2024.
You have to split Orleans parish into multiple districts to accomplish that. It is unreasonable. 5-1 is the best outcome if actually doing things right is the goal.
The biggest issue with the Louisiana Constitution is that we elect absolute idiots to the Legislature. I don't just mean they pursue bad policy. I mean they are objectively stupid.
We desperately need a new constitution, but given the idiots we have that would be writing it, I can't imagine it would get any better.

remember when Max Von Sydow was in the beginning of the movie, ostensibly, as some sort of significant / important character, and then we literally never hear a single other word about him for the entire trilogy
disney spent a lot of time establishing who he was in other media, but all for absolutely nothing three minutes of screen time or whatever. Similar with Snap Wexley, the fat pilot. They gave him this elaborate backstory, and relationship to Wedge Antilles, then he wasn't in the the second movie, and he is killed off in the third. Nobody watching could have understood why Poe Dameron was so upset that an a day player died.

The future doesn't look too bright for Devon. Assuming she does become a version of Talon we know that by 2 BBY Maul is looking for a new apprentice, and is courting Ezra Bridger.
Is he looking to replace Talon, has she died, or has she returned to the light side?
I can't imagine the heartbreak of Eeko Dio Daki, as he died knowing he would not be there to protect his padawan from Mauls influence.
