If they can cut costs that easily, why don't they do it? If they can avoid raises and hiring, why don't they do it? Why would they leave that money on the table until the govt asks for it?
Many leagues use standardized robots, there are even completely software-based leagues (AR league, for example). It's a competition of software skills, not really much about electronics.
I blame the East Germans. They'll happily push the "non-toxic" jellyfishes out of the way while bathing, they probably deposit brain control chemicals in people!
Considering the alien sprites from the game are highly iconic and used as trademarks they'll likely be required to use them at least once in the movie.
Considering how little those nuke plants actually covered we'd need to build a TON of the things to replace the dependence on Russian fossil fuels. Then consider what building ONE of the damn things costs, much less fifty of them. And then we've got fifty reactors producing waste and still no place to put it.
Our pebble bed reactors had issues that caused radiation to leak into the environment and the operators just covered it up. Our nuclear plants are now operated by incompetent companies. They're ancient relics that aren't even close to the safety standards people cite for modern reactors. Yet the government saw fit to increase their run times before being shut down permanently by another 10 years.
And how much different would that be with nuclear? We never had much nuclear power production to begin with, whether those plants keep running or not won't impact the gas need much.
Well, if you can build great reactors with current technology that's nice, the plants that are being shut down are all ancient technology and would need to be shut down either way. Maybe later on nuclear power can convince us to bother again but until then we're getting rid of these relics.
Well, we were going to bury it next to the Jägermeister distillery... Then it turned out the mining shaft they were dumping the waste into was porous and now they're trying to figure out how to get that shit back out.
Those reactors are a pretty minor factor in Germany's power infrastructure, shutting them down won't suddenly make the country entirely dependent on power imports. Besides, that's why the plan is for 2022, not instantly. It includes massive investments in building up more powerplants and infrastructure, especially adding more cables to the grid. The plan for the nuclear exit has actually been in place since 2001, the liberal-conservative government just undid it a few months before Fukushima and reversed its position immediately after (that's one of the reasons both parties are massively losing voters, severe credibility issues, now they're losing voters over their attempt to gain voters with a tax break!).
And yet even with all those roadblocks you're likely getting more money by staying independent than by selling yourself to the labels and living in slavery. Only the overproduced stars that are pretty much a disposable cog in the music industry and chosen to be advertised big get big money to keep the dream of being a rock star alive and musicians willing to sign up despite getting screwed.

Don't you know that taxes work like homeopathy?
Why would raising taxes DECREASE revenue? The economy isn't in a bad state so the uphill comparison is wrong.
And sure they can cut spending. Where do you think they'll cut first?
I think it's just a giant game of chicken. There's no way they aren't going to increase the debt ceiling.
Ratings agencies threatened to lower that rating if the US keeps spending irresponsibly.

Jocks play football, nerds teach robots how to play football.
What would a military be without some messes for the new recruits to clean up by hand?

They added a kind of spoof plot in Space Invaders: Get Even. Including lines like "our weapons are not designed for fighting 2D enemies!"
Feel free to try that. The govt did, they won't be in charge for another tern.
They cannot afford the power plants. Hell, Greece can't even afford the rent anymore.
More reactors won't help if they're also affected by the same problems as the existing ones (dry rivers in the summer).
Future technology always sounds nice. Don't expect everything to work out as nicely as predicted. Pebble beds didn't.

We had a thorium reactor. It leaked. So we sold the tech to China.

Germany had an experimental pebble bed reactor, it leaked.
Well, we were going to bury it next to the Jägermeister distillery... Then it turned out the mining shaft they were dumping the waste into was porous and now they're trying to figure out how to get that shit back out.

A problem is that these contracts are likely so obfuscated that you'd need a lawyer to even notice you're about to get fucked six ways to Sunday.
