    Yeah, but now you’re implementing it for him.

    Filming on location is a bit of an afterthought, and typically local film comissions will spend money creating incentives for it when they have the right conditions for it. You know, weather, facilities, locations, some beaches or mountains you can pretend are a fantasy thing with dragons…

    But the movie is not necessarily produced there, and there is no real process for the government of the place where the production firm originates to go add a tax disincentive on their end. I mean, at what stage? Using what instrument? Production companies for movies are often made ad-hoc for an individual project anyway.

    He’s just taking out of his ass, as always, and we’re giving him too much attention, as always. If he gets to doubling down on this he may try to do something, and he probably should figure out himself what that is. I’m not gonna do his homework for him.

      He’s just taking out of his ass, yes, but he has others to figure the how and the terms for him. Or he can do the method he used, putting tariffs all over the world. Asking chatGPT lmao

        For sure, but at least on that they were just being dumb about figuring out an amount to slot into a tax process that was already in place.

        I don’t know that they have a mechanism or instrument to tax any of this at any point. And I’d love to see them have Grok or ChatGPT or whatever design a loophole-free tax that targets some company of unknown origin shooting some footage in some location through some service provider or subsidiary and then post-producing that footage somewhere else and then showing that footage in cinemas, TV and streaming in some other location.
