Jailed and forced to listen to statements from all affected individuals. They need to understand just how evil and selfish their conduct is. They might have known but some people ignore victims if they are not in their sight.

I just don't see the point in upgrading every new release anyway, or even buying the most expensive one. I've had my gigabyte Rx 570 for several years and I can play Baldurs Gate 3 full settings with no issues. Maybe I haven't tasted 120 fps but I'm just happy I can play modern games. When it comes time to get a new graphics card, which may be soon since I am planning to build my wife's PC, maybe then I'll see what's going on with the higher end ones. Maybe I'm just a broke ass though.

I believe they have to be doing something shady, there is no way in hell that would cost$15 per person. Even a nice potato bar is $11 per person according to Google. I'm not an expert in business finance but I know bulk means less cost.

That SMCF, and yes that honestly sounds worth it to me.

I see your point, but labor cost for a single baked potato that was probably cooked at the same time as the rest of them would still be minimal.

Technically gift cards are taxable but if it's not reported who is gonna know.

Here is a little something from the IRS pub 525 about bonuses.

Bonuses and awards. Bonuses or awards you receive for outstanding work are included in your income and should be shown on your Form W-2. These include prizes such as vacation trips for meeting sales goals. If the prize or award you receive is goods or services, you must include the FMV of the goods or services in your income. However, if your employer merely promises to pay you a bonus or award at some future time, it isn’t taxable until you receive it or it’s made available to you.

So do they really believe the fair market value of a potato is $12? The IRS doesn't go by retail price.

The FMV for a pound of russet potatoes is $2.50 soo yeah no they are doing too much and should be reported.

Meals and lodging

You don't include in your income the value of meals and lodging provided to you and your family by your employer at no charge if the following conditions are met.

The meals are: Furnished on the business premises of your employer, and Furnished for the convenience of your employer.

I thought systems like this already exist in some games? Adaptive difficulty which is a thing most people won't notice. Speedruns of games that implement this system even do actions to counter this for speed and ease of gameplay.
