Why is this the first we’re hearing about this, three years in? The article says these companies blamed other factors for the layoffs - why?
- tomrod 1y agoIt's not the first time many have heard about it.
- madaxe_again 1y ago“We are heavily subsidised by taxpayers” is not great optics.
- anp 1y agoTo head off the likely questions, I downvoted this comment because it is a gross misrepresentation of section 174 and the changes made to it.
- madaxe_again 1y agoWhat have I grossly misrepresented? Or are you arguing that a tax rebate is not a subsidy? I haven’t even mentioned the changes made.
- anp 1y agoTo start, rules for deductions aren’t tax rebates. Rebates also aren’t necessarily subsidies unless they’re targeted. Deciding whether labor is a capital or operating expense and deciding how to depreciate it if capital is also not a subsidy.
- madaxe_again 1y agoWould you like a razor with which to better split hairs? Also, I don’t appreciate your blatant racism.
- candiddevmike 1y agoThere were a ton of stories around this in 2022 as a bunch of startups scrambled to make ends meet due to this bill taking effect.
