You're missing his point. He is referring to "Hollywood Accounting" where in no matter how much money a movie makes, It didn't make any, according to the creative accounting. This keeps them from having to pay a percentage in royalties to nearly everyone involved in the film, as well as giving the studios additional tax write-offs.
Wiki has a nice summary
Harry Potter films made no money, despite grossing over $1 billion each.
In fact, Dave Proust still isn't getting anything from LucasFilm for playing Darth Vader because Return of the Jedi still isn't profitable.

So just like the movies, patents will suddenly not be making any money, according to creative "Hollywood Accounting."

Kinda like how, for example, after 30 days you have completely replaced all of your skin cells with copies? Yet your skin is still part of yourself every 30 days?

I WILL BE UPGRADED!!!!!!!!!

Yeah AC, thanks for the link to such a crap article by a biased writer who loves to hate.
Check out his latest headlines.
I love this nonsensical gem in the article you linked:
Tesla can’t increase demand by dropping the price very much. About the only way they can do this (barring some—currently remote—major battery technology improvements) is by cutting the vehicle’s range.
Seriously? This guy is suggesting that their only hope to increase demand is to reduce performance, rather than cost?

You've never driven from LA to NY, have you?
Or do you just not have a stomach, colon or bladder?
At least with an EV Supercharge station, you don't need to stand next to you vehicle holding a pump.

So, you plan on doing a coast to coast road trip and only plan to stop for 6 minutes each time the tank is running on empty?
I suppose you plan on packing all your food to eat on the road as well as a bunch of empty bottles to piss in (please throw them out at the filling station, rather than dropping a pee bomb on the highway.)
What is your plan for doing #2?

Seriously, for long road trips, waiting 30 minutes is not a big deal.
For local driving, you have more than enough charge until you get home to charge over night.

OK...so for those working a minimum wage job trying to support a family, who own no property in Texas, you're fine with them not having to pay tax? Or are you going to call them freeloaders? or part of the 47%?
Or maybe things aren't so black-and-white?

They really should title it something like: Announcement Notice of Apparent Liability

Right here

I couldn't find a good article either...just passing mentions.
I guess they don't have the same draw as the Blue Angels.
Still, it was kind of a bummer to see the canceled list. I've seen them here at Nellis several times.

The last link that purports to be about the Thunderbirds is really an article about the Blue Angels. With the exception of one line at the end saying: btw, the T-Birds are also cancelling shows.
Here is (was) their performance schedule.

Rust in Peace, Iron Lady.

...pay them for the pizza and tip them nicely.

...but for me, after years of attending concerts my hearing is shot just enough to not really tell a difference. This includes shows by both David Grohl and Neil Young. I don't mind the hearing loss too much, but don't lecture me now on the best file formats, thanks.
