Ccs posted:Speaking of Vancouver: The industry is gone if they do a significant cut. Because the BC politicians have no idea how the industry works, and the locals are clueless. Just by browsing /r/vancouver on reddit reinforces this. People think that the film tax credits don't cost anything. It does, that's why there's a half a billion dollar a year hole in the budget and growing because Vancouver is doing what we call in the industry... "buying work". All the on set / IATSE guys are getting a 45% subsidy, and guys like me [digital/post/vfx] are getting 58% subsidy on our wages. No caps, no limits, no worker restrictions on nationality.. the VFX/Animation guys are going to kill that "golden goose". There's companies that are in such a rush to setup 300 workers [mostly on visas] they're running entire productions off diesel generators for months on end because they can't shut down production long enough to allow BC hydro to come do their thing. Now here's the thing they mention.. the exchange rate allows then to lower the subsidy but they're missing a key component. You can go an finance parts of a film using film subsidy money as collateral. It's 100% guaranteed money. So the big studios force productions to do as much as they can in subsidized locations so they can get enough subsidy money where they can easily finance the show. You can't use a low exchange rate as collateral. I'm predicting a cap, or a big reduction in subsides. I'm also thinking the local stagehand / on set crews are going to throw the VFX/Post guys under the bus on this. They'll kill DAVE and the VFX subsidy to save the on set jobs, those guys are unionized and local and they vote. Most of the VFX guys don't have any of that organization going on. It's nuts. I hate Vancouver, and I'm literally getting paid to live and work here by the government. For two more months at least, I'm hoping to be back in LA when Save BC Film part 2 kicks off. /edit To add, my landlord sold the furnished Olympic Village studio that I rent. For half a million. Its a nice concrete box, but good lord, there's no pool, no trash/recycle chutes and no mechanical ventilation, just 2 $50 baseboard electric heaters. People pay 6 figures for this living? I was hoping the new landlord would kick me out so I can get the 3 months worth of rent pay thing, but he just purchased the unit as an investment rental. Great.

Cultural Imperial posted:i swear to loving god i'm gonna choke the next motherfucker i meet from abbotsford The best part is that this is in such a lovely part of Abbotsford, the previous owners probably built it by digging a tunnel into Washington and smuggling drugs through it. It's literally just farms (which means blueberry cannons going off every 15 minutes in the summer) and lovely old houses, with a healthy smattering of traffic trying to take a shortcut to get to the border crossing when lines are long.

Myriarch posted:What the hell is a blueberry cannon? Google brings up stuff about banning propane, and I do not understand. I'm sick and delirious it might be called something else but I'm 95% sure in my current state that that's what they're called. Basically blueberry (and basically all other plant) farmers in Abbotsford decided that they were tired of birds picking their crops clean, so they installed air cannons that go off every 15 minutes or so. They're not that annoying when you just drive through, it's pretty similar to the sound of explosives triggering avalanches on the mountains here every morning. I don't know how annoying they'd be if you heard them 25 times a day but whatever. But of course, Abbotsford being Abbotsford, the people who bought non-farms or tiny farms that don't really grow things commercially decided that they didn't like the cannons, because they ~*~REDUCE THEIR PROPERTY VALUES~*~ but also their quality of life by going off every 15 minutes, and the farmers (pretty rightfully, IMO) went "lol gently caress off you knew you were buying in loving farmland" and the city sided with the farmers so now they're allowed their cannons but every summer there's a big fight about it. edit: https://www.facebook.com/BanTheCannons/ http://www.banthecannons.com/ and because the headline of this article made me laugh: http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Drone+scarecrows+future+blueberry+farming/11163830/story.html?__lsa=c486-5119

Most of the IATSE local are actual locals who make Vancouver their home and the perception is the VFX subsidy goes to a bunch of carpet baggers who will abandon BC for Montreal or Christchurch or New Orleans or whatever the second they offer a better bribe.

Companies on the track to bankruptcy tend to not pay salaries owed due to the whole bondsmen hanging outside their door like a pack of hungry wolves thing. If they recover they can always pay their employees back. If not, there's always FYGM.

What is negative gearing actually in this context? Is it using the prospective future growth of your asset as collateral or it is just a "I'm going to rent out my place" thing?

Xoidanor posted:What is negative gearing actually in this context? Is it using the prospective future growth of your asset as collateral or it is just a "I'm going to rent out my place" thing? AIUI, it's where the income from an investment (such as buying a house) doesn't cover the costs (such as mortgage), and the expectation is that increase in asset value will compensate. I think the "don't gently caress with negative gearing" thing is that in Australia, unusually, negative gearing losses can be used to offset salary and income, reducing the financial impact substantially. Most margin loans are negative gearing, in that the dividends from the shares (very often zero) don't cover the interest on the loan.

Their rate of growth has been crazy and seemingly totally out of scale with demand. With Lululemon it was abundantly clear early on that they were onto something, and you could visibly see how popular the clothes were. Kit and Ace is nowhere near that.
