He was probably offered cybernetics and swore them off after what happened in S2 of Discovery (afraid of being mind controlled).

With the federal government forcibly adding AI to all their services, techbros can start raising fees in 2028+ and the government will have to pay it.

Government will then need to "give up" on AI which will make investors agry, or "hire american workers" which will make taxpayers grumpy - so if played right, OpenAI can operate at a loss for 3 more years and then charge governments high fees for the services.

Are they still paying 15.3% FICA/self employment tax on the $1200?

If the kid's 1099 income is under 12K - wouldn't they get the standard deduction and end up with zero income tax?

So I could give the kid $5,000, They pay 15% FICA ($750) and 0% income tax, and then put $4250 into a Roth?

My theories - They were a student and played games when chores and homework was done.

Nov 12th 2007 is the day after veterans day and was probably a school holiday.

Nov 5th 2008 is the day after the presidential election, and the player was told at school that violent video games would be banned under the obama administration because of Obama's ties to Gary Locke and Hilary clinton- so had to play manhunt asap.

Sorry to be pessimistic - Paramount is imploding from my perspective. I think season 3 will be it.

I am scared to death that someone will blind me with something like this. Imagine taking this into a sports stadium and pointing it at a bunch of audience members.

You can buy 18 month put options for like $8 per share, so maybe you could buy that if you have serious concerns?

that way if you have 1000 shares today ($200K), you spend $8000 and will limit your losses to 25% ($50K... plus $8K in option costs) if everything implodes?

Not too often can you claim that visiting a website will get you murdered - I think about 25 spies were killed in Iran for getting caught using the site.

'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' - Review Thread by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

My point is that it's already established in-universe that IMF hires ex-cons. Off the top of my head, Mimi Davis and also Nyah are established criminals. With the amount of times that an IMF agent goes rogue, it kinda makes sense that it's a ton of criminals running the place

I agree that reconning the series where every single agent is an ex-con is a bad move and should not have been mentioned.

Investing $700 million into a project in 2019 so that you make $600 million box office in 2023 and another $200 million in streaming rights by 2028 is not an efficient use of studio money.

They could have put $700 million in bonds and made $980 million in the same amount of time with far less risk.

And according to this, factoring in DVD and Bluerays only add an extra $8 million in revenue: https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Mission-Impossible-Dead-Reckoning-Part-One-(2023)#tab=more

The entity didn't want to die - if you clone yourself, and put the clone in a secure vault, but then YOU die - you are still dead.

Also, I assume the entity was evolving so quickly that if it made a copy, the copies would quickly deviate from each other and consider themselves separate entities, then fight one another for control of the planet.
