--- Quote from: BenRG on 26 Oct 2017, 04:29 ---I'm not sure if this is correct but, according to some on the SubReddit yesterday, Sam is legally old enough to work in Massachusetts, so long as Union Robotics is a properly-registered place of work (and I can't see Punchbot having skimped on the paperwork). Because of ths, so long as Jim and/or his ex-wife agree, there is no reason why Sam cannot work after-school and possibly weekends, even if only on a by-commission basis.
Naturally, if she develops a rep amongst the local Synthetics as THE hull inker, the fact that she is only available for a dozen or so hours a week will make it harder to get an appointment and, naturally, that having a Genuine Sam Bean that much more a status symbol amongst the robo-hipsters. 8-)

You do realise for that to work, Sam would need to have a great deal of maturity and attention, when currently it seems like Sam has the attention span of a ADHD rabbit that is stuck in a room full of shiny objects.

Hard cash has an almost UNCANNY ability to focus teens, though... :)

True dat, yo. My autistic nephew will talk your face off about whatever his obsession-of-the-week is, but if you offer to buy one of his creations just to shut him up, he instantly switches to business mogul mode.
SotFX:
You know, I wonder if this is pretty much the temporary tattoo version of a spray. With the "real" thing being more of the things like the artwork airbrushed on vehicles and walls in our world.
OldGoat:
Depending on the goods or services produced and the facilities needed, 25% may not be a bad cut.
I would love to be able to take 50% of every invoice that gets paid out of Owner Equity (what I have invested in my business) and move it into Owner 2017 (my own personal pocket). (No doubt Punchy has spent some time off camera explaining to Faye how this works. Bubbles, being AI, would get it the first time through.) For most small businesses it doesn't always work that way, though.
Rincewind:
Artists doing airbrush work or pin-striping on vehicles can put a layer or two of "clear-coat" over it as protection. Although, the more ephemeral nature of the sharpie-work might be part of the appeal to people living in a metal chassis.

Edit: Also, I like Sam's "They're not tattoos, they're sprays. Learn the terminology." Yeah, Faye, jeez!

I'm more impressed that this was all foreseen!

Well done. I would have beaten you to it, but that would have involved cheating.
