The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 23, 2021

Like the rest of the remakes, it won’t be worth two cents.

Only six billion dollars??? Must be using refurbished parts!!!

/SHMIRK/

We can rebuild him back better.

Interesting trivia. Even during last year’s pandemic economic disaster, there were 660 new members in the $1 billion dollar man club. Jeff Bezos at $177 billion is number 1 for the 4th year in a row. – Forbes dot com / billionaires

my wife’s coming home from the hospital tomorrow with a bit of gear designed to help her walk (after breaking her heel) that makes her look like the bionic woman…

If you think inflation is funny, you aren’t living on a pension.

unless they found cheaper parts and more expensive workers to work on him. :D

Change the name to “34 Million Dollar Man” for the actual inflated cost.

Brutus laughed, she said “huh”?

Remember, this is a government contract…lowest bidder…cost overruns…

Ah, yes, the fantasy series where a man with two mechanical legs and a mechanical arm was somehow able to lift enormous weights without snapping his still-human spine. :)

Ol’ Uncle Joe B. Is the six trillion dollar man.

Tony Stark already did that for around the same cost with Iron Man. Might want to look at a different theme. However, in truth, the movie industry has really milked that Cow Dry and need to do their job and get some originality in their ideas. I got one. How about a guy like Brutus who while a mild mannered average joe is actually a Super Hero in an alternate time/dimension which he can cross into at any instant. Yet, he is never missed in this dimensional universe as time is irrelevant and while there, battles the earth’s enemies in a never ending struggle of good against evil. Something off the top of my head…….

And this time, the payment will be made in bitcoins.

Due to increasing medical costs, anyone with a few replaced joints or organs might be close to, or past six million dollar total lifetime medical costs. Or a few other medical problems, multiplied by each other.

Man, that guy had good insurance.

I always thought that was way underpriced, even though it was in the 70s. Everything was super experimental, way high tech, super advanced, yet the science, parts, operation were only 6 million?
