For a film crew that's no more than a basic load of gear. Probably
light at that.

I imagine they are not professionals. "Footage" implies video and I
doubt $35k would cover a professional television camera and lens.

I dio find the states a bit confusing (being from the UK) where you have tpo tell them what you have bought
so you can be taxed on it, in the UK you are taxed at source wheh you purchase something seems to be fairer on everyone.

Not sure what you mean, but each state has its own sales taxes (or none)
and many counties have additional sales taxes. It's a morass - why VAT
in the US is not likely to ever happen. It would take forever to
decouple county taxes from state from federal.

Here: if you go the grocery store and buy muffins, there is no VAT

Farm fuel is not taxed (or is taxed less). It has a different colour as
a result. I've actually seen Revenu Quebec inspectors on a two lane
highway stopping cars coming out of a farming area and dipping into the
tanks to check if these non farm cars had farm fuel in them. Must have
been acting on a tip. Not sure what the fine is - probably steep.

They spy on everyone. All of the time. Birds are not real.

I thought the USA had 50 states where the drinking age and the age of sexual consent
and even marriage was differnt between them, what I thought was more confusing is that you can marry
below the age of consent.

Here in the UK virtually everything you buy includes any tax.
You you order from say the Apple store and buy an iphone, tax is already included in the price.
I thought that if I was in the USA and ordered an iPhone I wouldn;t be charged TAX at source of purchase.
But would need to inform the IRA or someone that I bought a phone.

Different states - different laws. I don't recall any that would give
you a tax break on a retail purchase for out of state though.

although have perfect laws, these laws aren't enforced. So many people
with the depression have gone below the poor limit, that there are
deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning, which hasn't happened since the
'60s, with people who can't afford any kind of heating, and are so
desperate to get warm, they use mangals, little pots with burning coal.
They don't know you have to keep a door open and the get carbon monoxide poisoning. There are even fires reported from the same reason. There are
many beggars, homeless and so on even in my city, Iraklion which didn't
have any of this in the '80s for instance. The problem is the state
thinks the citizens are crooks and hiding income and possesions, and the citizens think the state is ripping them off, with poll taxes and
generally taxing the hell out of them. Back on topic, when I go to
Athens (on boat) I think I will only get my compact camera, I don't want
to be a thief target, even on the boat... (The boat trip is long that
you sleep on the boat, either on coach seats for the cheapest ticket or
in a cabin for more expensive).
