This symbolism is insane.

Le Président Trump a signé ce soir à Versailles l’accord entre l’Iran et les États-Unis.

Cet accord ouvre la voie à une paix durable et permet la réouverture du détroit d’Ormuz.

C’est un pas important dans la bonne direction pour nos compatriotes qui permettra d’obtenir bientôt une baisse des prix de l’énergie.

@KYCooperrider If they spend the amount of money that literally listed at POTENTIAL then it’s money in Kentuckians local pockets and they get a tax rebate from the state. No tax credits are received until they spend a lot of money here that would not be here otherwise.

[Fnordmotercompany @wisejames]

@oliviakrauth You know that this is POTENTIAL tax credits. Please don’t follow down the Bevin path on this

[Fnordmotercompany @wisejames]

@1followernodad That honestly sounds like possibly the best bar ever

This is a pretty deceptive post. If you look closely you see the word potential before the words tax credit. That means IF that movie shoots here and spends the appropriate about of money on KY lodging, food, payroll etc then they get a tax break

🚨 Breaking: Kentucky gave over $3.3 million in tax credits to a movie called "I Never Should Have Slept With Him."

This is part of the over $13 million Kentucky handed out in tax credits just last month to movies and shows.

Other notable handouts include (but are not limited to):

$3.8 million to "Twilight of the Dead"
$2 million to "Horse Girls"
$2.7 million to "Magic: Against Humanity," episodes 3–12

Defenders of these incentives claim that the tax credits are worth it because of the jobs they create. The problem with that defense is that when we look at the numbers, it’s hard to see how Kentucky benefits.

For example, according to the Kentucky Economic Incentives database, "I Never Should Have Slept With Him" has a total project size of $9.5 million. It’s unclear whether that is the total production budget or just what they are spending in Kentucky. Even if all of it is spent in Kentucky, the incentive size is nearly one-third of their total spend—far exceeding the tax revenues generated. How does Kentucky benefit?

They aren’t building a factory to provide jobs in perpetuity, and I find it hard to believe people will visit Kentucky because "I Never Should Have Slept With Him" was filmed here.

If you do believe these incentives should be given out, then they should be limited to projects that benefit Kentucky. For example, this month they gave $65k to "The Bourbon Trail: Uncork'd." I can see why the state might have an interest in helping that production. While I generally object to any government handouts to private companies, at least that is defensible.
